R U N N I NRunning races in the Netherlands: marathons and more
29 upcoming running races across the Netherlands, sorted by date and updated weekly - flat, fast and famously well organised.
Flat and fast by design
The Netherlands is built for personal bests: Rotterdam's spring marathon is one of the fastest courses in the world, and Amsterdam's autumn race finishes in the 1928 Olympic Stadium. Eindhoven and The Hague round out a calendar where hills simply do not exist.
Bike-lane logistics
Dutch races are compact and public-transport friendly - start lines are minutes from central stations, and the cycling culture means courses are wide, smooth and closed with practiced efficiency. Wind off the North Sea is the only opponent the profile can't remove.
