Last updated: 24 September 2026
Planning your running or walking goals for next year? Here are all the running events in the Netherlands for 2027, plus the biggest walking events, from the Egmond Halve Marathon in January to the Bruggenloop in December. The big races sell out fast (Egmond 2027 was sold out in record time before summer 2026 was even over), so knowing the dates and registration openings early can make all the difference.
I will keep updating this page as new dates are announced. Every event is marked as either β Date confirmed or π Expected, not yet confirmed by the organiser, so you know which dates are safe to plan around. Looking for something sooner?
