About the Event

Discover a uniquely fast Dutch marathon at the Heuvelland Marathon on March 15, 2026. This event turns the typical hill challenge on its head, featuring a net-downhill course that starts at the highest point in the Netherlands in Vaals and finishes in the vibrant town of Gulpen. The 2026 edition offers a bucket-list 42.2km or a famously quick 21.1km half marathon, both renowned for their negative elevation and electric Limburg atmosphere. Registration opens September 15th for a race that proves in South Limburg, the only way is down—and incredibly fast.
