Geuzenloop Zoetermeer

Geuzenloop Zoetermeer is an annual running event taking place for the 22nd time on Sunday, September 27, 2026. It is Zoetermeer’s largest running race, with distances ranging from a half mile to a half marathon. The start and finish are at Pilatusdam in Zoetermeer’s historic center. The courses pass through both Old and New Zoetermeer, including the former Floriade site and Balijbos. There are also Geuzen walking tours of 6 to 25 kilometers, organized by Road Runners Zoetermeer and Sportief Wandelgroep Zoetermeer.

Geuzenloop is inclusive and accessible: buddies accompanying visually impaired runners and walkers can participate for free after registering. All running routes and the 6 km walking tour are wheelchair accessible. Each distance has a cut-off time to ensure the course remains clear. Finishers receive a unique medal made from a tree trunk slice by people distanced from the labor market. The finish closes at 15:00. Registration opens on May 1, 2026; medal made from pruned wood; option to change distance; closing run and after-party on September 30; no medal option for all participants.
