Halve Marathon Deurne

Halve Marathon Deurne is a September running event in Deurne, Netherlands, with the Markt in the town center serving as the finish area for the main races. The program includes a half marathon, 10 km, and 5 km, along with 5 km and 10 km business runs for teams of three to five people. Children have their own bambino- and scholierenloop, and this youth race is free to enter. Atletiekvereniging Deurne organizes the event, now in its fourth decade. The course features a fast 5 km loop around Deurne, allowing runners to pass through the center multiple times rather than following a single long out-and-back route. The 10 km runners complete two laps, while half marathon runners add an approach loop before running the 5 km loop four times. This repeated passage through the center allows spectators to easily follow the race, and public access is free. The children's race begins on Stationsstraat, with every young finisher receiving a medal and an ice cream; later, the main race awards take place on the Markt, where local hospitality businesses provide music to conclude the afternoon.
