The Physique Derde Kerstdagloop in Arnhem is a scenic running race held on Sunday, 27 December 2026. The main event is the 21.1 km half marathon, known as one of the most beautiful and toughest half marathons in the Netherlands, with a challenging course through forests and heathland. There are also 14 km and 7 km distances, which run partly on unpaved paths and hilly terrain. The race is organised at Sportcentrum Valkenhuizen and offers facilities such as changing rooms, showers and secure baggage storage. Timing uses the Ipico system, and there are water stations on the longer distances.
