The Zorg en Zekerheid Circuit is a paved road running series held in Leiden, South Holland.

The entry form lists short, middle, and long distance categories, along with a short-distance option for ages 12-18. Runners aged 15 and under require parental or guardian consent.

Boerenkoolloop Warmenhuizen is a local Dutch running event in Warmenhuizen, Noord-Holland, taking place on the first weekend of November. It serves as both a competition and a recreational run, typically offering 5 km and 10 km distances, along with a short youth race in select years. The memorable aspect is the finish-line package: each participant receives ingredients for boerenkool, including kale, potatoes, sausage, and gravy. The event is affiliated with the Atletiekunie, attracting both club and casual runners. Recent editions have seen increasing participation and a new men's course record.

The Gooi Half Marathon debuts in the Dutch region of Het Gooi, starting and finishing at Het Arsenaal in the fortified town of Naarden Vesting. Scheduled for November, it includes more than just a half marathon: participants can opt for a quarter marathon or a kids run, and a walking tour is also available. The event originated from organizer Mees Kremer's relocation to Naarden and his appreciation for the local forests, heath, river landscape, and historic surroundings. The half marathon course highlights well-known locations near Naarden, such as Muiderberg, the Naardermeer, and Valkeveen. The majority of the route is paved, with some forest path segments, meaning trail shoes are unnecessary. Kremer is organizing the event with Tempo AV from Bussum, receiving support from the municipality of Gooise Meren. The race is being developed as a community day for Naarden, Bussum, and neighboring villages, utilizing traffic-calmed roads and minimizing road closure times at intersections.

The Lage Vuursche Trail begins at Natuurcamping De Zeven Linden and crosses the wooded region between Soest, Baarn, and Lage Vuursche.

The available distances are around 10 km, 20-21 km, and 30-34 km, featuring moderate elevation gains of roughly 44, 89, and 114 meters, respectively. The course winds through Royal forests and natural areas connecting Paleis Soestdijk, Drakensteyn, and Kasteel Groenewoud. Participants will encounter singletrack paths, sandy trails, forest tracks, and historic lanes formerly used by carriages serving the area's large estates. This race format allows runners to experience varied loops across different seasons, presenting the same race environment with a distinct character for each edition.

Urban Trail Haarlem is a run through the center of Haarlem, with a route designed to showcase the city from both its interior spaces and its streets. It is part of the Dutch Urban Trail Series, which takes runners into notable Dutch cities for a sporty city-discovery run instead of a standard road race. The Haarlem event is limited to 3,000 participants and is now in its sixth edition. The course connects running with culture and architecture, focusing less on achieving a fast time and more on moving through Haarlem’s inner city via locations a normal race would not typically access. The start is at Oudeweg 91-95, and the event offers practical race-day amenities such as public-transport access, first aid, a guarded cloakroom, and late registration if spots remain.
