The Ittre Night Run starts in the village of Ittre in Belgium and sends runners out at dusk in autumn. It offers 5 km and 13 km races, with a kids run added for younger runners, so the evening is built for families as well as regular joggers. The race leans into the night setting: runners follow candlelit stretches, and the village adds a sound-and-light show around the event. Locals call it the “Nightrunners” jog, and its appeal comes from the simple setup of an autumn village run turned into an after-dark group outing.

The De Beuningse Plasloop is an annual run in Beuningen, Gelderland, organized around the lake at the edge of town. This local road race includes 10 km and 5 km distances, two Kidsrun options, and an Ondernemersrun for corporate teams. The event accommodates a wide range of participants for its size: children, adult runners, competitive athletes, framerunners, and business teams are all included in the program. The course circles a former sand extraction site and follows the Beuningse Plas, primarily on paved paths outside the town limits. The route is mostly clear of vehicle traffic, with W.S.V. "de Beuningse Plas" acting as the start, finish, and central point. Post-race, participants gather at the clubhouse terrace, where volunteers from the watersports club offer drinks. The race employs electronic timing, posts results later, and presents medals and awards across multiple categories, including a special prize for the quickest entrepreneur.

Langs de Gouweloop is a local road race in Waddinxveen, organized by Sportclub Antilope. The start and finish are on Gouweplein at the town’s shopping center.

A large part of the race takes place in Triangel before returning to the shopping center. The event has passed fifty editions, making it a long-running fixture.

The STYREKX Fitness Race Mechelen is an indoor fitness competition in Mechelen, Antwerp province, Belgium, taking place in October. It combines short running circuits with functional exercise stations, resembling a timed gym challenge more than a typical road race. The primary Regular and Xtreme formats consist of ten 800-meter laps, totaling 8 km of running, with an exercise station following each lap. A shorter Light option features nine 400-meter runs. The event is part of the Strong Viking series and maintains an arena atmosphere, incorporating chip timing, designated stations, and a consistent run-exercise cadence. The course is constructed from repeating laps and gym-based exercises, distinct from outdoor obstacles or terrain. Stations involve equipment or activities such as RowErg, StrengthErg, Sled Push, and Loa, with exercises drawn from standard fitness and CrossFit routines. Participants can compete individually, in pairs, or as teams, and the organizer states prior fitness race experience is not required. Staff are stationed to guide participants through the exercises, and the timing chip tracks running, station completion, and transitions. Entry includes a STYREKX Patch, and finishers receive nutrition, a personalized results breakdown, and a certificate; facilities like changing rooms, a cloakroom, and a hydration station are also provided.

The ASML Marathon Eindhoven takes place over two days on the second weekend of October. It stands as North Brabant's largest two-day sports event, featuring a full marathon, half marathon, quarter marathon, City Run, Kids Run, Urban Walk, and Your Marathon Challenge. The half marathon attracts the most runners, and the main race accommodates up to 15,000 participants. The course is flat and wide, facilitating fast times, with a finish in the city center. Supporters line the route, and the event welcomes club runners, charity participants, families, and newcomers. A local tradition involves a connection with KWF's Run Against Cancer, allowing participants to fundraise for guaranteed entry spots when standard registration closes.

The Dordtse Biesbosch Trailrun begins and ends at the organizer's grounds on Schenkeldijk in Dordrecht, South Holland. This trail race crosses the Nieuwe Dordtse Biesbosch, offering distance options from short Family Runs to a half marathon. Participants can select 3 km or 5 km Family Run courses, a standard 5 km, 10 km, 10 English Miles, or a 21.1 km half marathon, catering to children, novice runners, and those seeking a longer off-road challenge. The courses feature narrow paved paths, unpaved tracks, sandy stretches, and dikes, leading through the Nieuwe Dordtse Biesbosch, the floodplains beside the Nieuwe Merwede, and the Elzenbos. The trail surface may present puddles, streams, branches, and tree trunks, making the race a test of adaptability to varied terrain rather than a pursuit of speed on a smooth road. The start-finish area provides baggage drop-off and changing facilities. The event maintains a relaxed outdoor atmosphere with campfires, marshmallow roasting for children post-race, and refreshments including coffee, tea, soft drinks, satay, and beer.

The EpilepsieLoop Amersfoort is a running and walking event held in Amersfoort, located in the Dutch province of Utrecht. The event details specify the location and the types of activities, but do not list specific distances, a designated start area, or a mapped course.

For the most current information, participants are directed to the organizer's website, epilepsieloop.nl.

The event is connected to the club activities of De Kasteellopers, a group that trains weekly and accepts runners of any pace or distance. The course runs through and around the Kasteeldreef area. Race day involves runners, helpers, and supporters, not solely competitors. One recorded edition had 168 finishers, suggesting a small community race rather than a large city event.

EnergyVision Dwars Door Hasselt is a city running event held in Hasselt, Limburg, offering race distances from a 1 km kids run to a 21.0975 km half marathon. It is known locally as Limburg’s coziest city run, yet it is also a significant event, with almost 14,000 runners participating in a recent edition, ranking it as the third largest running event in Flanders. The event features 3 km, 5 km, 10 km, 15 km, the half marathon, the Persil Kids Run, and a handbike race. The half marathon is officially measured and World Athletics-certified, attracting approximately 3,000 runners since its introduction. The children’s run is untimed, while the 3 km through half marathon races utilize chips to record net time from start to finish. Participants receive a commemorative medal, aid stations along the route and at the finish, changing rooms and showers at PXL, bag storage, and results published online and via Het Belang van Limburg’s digital newspaper.

The AVA Mica IT Baanloop (October) is a short track run held at the AVA athletics track, located at Sportlaan 43 in Aalsmeer, Netherlands.

All three races commence in the evening, and the entry fee is a modest €4.00, aligning with the uncomplicated club atmosphere. The entire event takes place on the athletics track, meaning participants run measured laps instead of roads or trails. The participant limit is 100, and late registration is permitted. AV Aalsmeer is the organizing club, affiliated with the Atletiekunie, the Dutch athletics federation.

The GOUDasfaltloop is a small running event in Gouda with a cap of 150 participants and distances from 240 meters up to 10 km. It includes short youth races under the KidsRun banner, plus 5 km and 10 km options for adults or older runners, and the Pacer element gives runners a way to aim for a steadier target pace. Entry fees are low, from €5 to €13, and late registration is allowed when places are still available. The route goes through the Veerstalblok polder and over the Tiendwegen, with the start, passing points, and finish tied to the GOUDasfalt event grounds. That setup keeps the race compact: runners head out into open polder roads and return to the same event site. Earlier editions also included a photo contest and small surprise elements, so the day is pitched more as a local community race than a large city run.
