About the Event

The Midzomermarathon returns on Saturday, June 27, 2026, for a special running event that harnesses the powerful spirit of the summer solstice. Starting from the lush, green setting of Sportpark Orderbos, this community-focused race offers a perfect blend of athletic challenge and seasonal celebration. Set against the backdrop of the longest days of the year, the event provides runners with a scenic route through the heart of Apeldoorn, where the shaded woodland trails offer a welcome canopy and a unique racing atmosphere that has become a staple of the Dutch summer.

The 2026 edition continues its long-standing reputation as a well-organized, friendly gathering for runners of all levels. While the marathon distance remains the hallmark of the event, the Midzomermarathon is celebrated for its inclusive program, often featuring shorter distances and relay options that invite the entire local community to get moving. The course is known for its "gezellig" (cozy) vibe, with supportive crowds and well-placed refreshment stations ensuring that every participant—from elite marathoners to recreational joggers—feels the warmth of the midsummer spirit.

Beyond the finish line, the event serves as a beloved summer tradition, bringing together athletes and families to celebrate at the Orderbos sports hub. Managed with a focus on runner experience and a relaxed, welcoming environment, it is the ideal destination for those looking to kick off their summer season with a personal best or a scenic adventure. Come for the run, stay for the festive atmosphere, and discover why this midsummer challenge is one of the most anticipated fixtures in the Veluwe region. Registration usually opens in early spring, so secure your spot to be part of the magic.
