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 Geilenkirchener Volkslauf und Halbmarathon is a running event in Geilenkirchen-Gillrath, Germany, organized by DJK-Gillrath e. V. It combines a long-standing Volkslauf with a half marathon, offering options for both recreational runners and those seeking a full 21.1 km challenge. The event also features a 10 km run, 10 km walking and Nordic walking, a 4 km run, youth races of 0.8 km and 2.5 km, and a short Bambini race for the youngest participants. All races conclude at Sportplatz Gillrath, with bib collection available at the competition office on the sports field prior to the start. The half marathon course is flat, making the longer distance straightforward rather than technically demanding. The 4 km course is wheelchair accessible, and the 2.5 km and 4 km races incorporate a competition for individuals with disabilities. The half marathon and 10 km run contribute to a five-year series ranking, and most running races also feed into the RAC ranking, providing local, regular runners with motivation to return beyond a single race day.

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 JP Balki Event is a charity running race in Heeze, a village in North Brabant, starting on Boschlaan in the town center. Held in April, it includes timed races from short distances to a half marathon. Distances listed include 3 km, 7 km, 10 or 11 km, 14 km, and 21 km. The race honors Jean-Paul Balkestein, who passed away from cardiac arrest while jogging at 32. The event carries a personal local story alongside its sporting aspect. The routes follow roads and paths around Kasteel Heeze, extending into nature areas managed by Brabants Landschap and Staatsbosbeheer. Participants are asked to respect these reserves, avoiding damage or pollution on the course. The event supports the Amsterdam UMC Foundation, funding experimental medical research, and Stichting Hartekind, which finances research into childhood heart defects. This dual purpose allows participants to race a set distance, join in local remembrance, and support the charities connected to the event's cause.

Marathon Kasterlee is a running event in Kasterlee, Belgium. Both the marathon and half marathon begin at 10:00 AM in mid-November. The race uses a 21 km loop; marathon participants complete the loop twice, and half marathoners complete it once. This is not a fast, city-road race, as approximately 90 percent of the course runs through forest and field paths. The route is suitable for runners who prefer soft ground, varied footing, and a rural setting that can become challenging after rain. The participant list frequently includes triathletes and duathletes using this event as a final preparation before the Hel van Kasterlee, the local winter duathlon. One sold-out edition attracted 300 marathon runners and 1,600 half marathon runners, contributing to the event's significant participation while maintaining its local identity.

It typically takes place in March, catering to both competitive runners and those seeking a local fun run. The course follows roads and cycle paths near Bladel and Reusel, featuring wooded areas and rural Kempen scenery. While the exact route may change, it remains connected to natural landscapes and historical sites, avoiding urban circuits. The event accommodates amateur runners, experienced athletes, and children, concluding with music and food for participants and spectators.
