Midzomer Marathon Apeldoorn

The Midzomer Marathon Apeldoorn is a unique running event held on a summer evening through the shady forests of the Veluwe around Apeldoorn. The race offers five distances, ranging from 7.5 km to the full marathon of 42.195 km, with the start and finish at Sportpark Orderbos. The routes mostly follow wide Veluwe paths and forest trails across varied terrain with around 300 metres of elevation gain, making for a challenging and atmospheric experience. Start times are scheduled so that you run into the evening and finish well before sunset, giving the race a special summer ambience.

All five distances start later in the day so you can run into the summer evening. The marathon has a time limit of 5 hours, and participants may bring their own cycling companion to provide support along the course. Parking is free and within walking distance of the start location. Registration includes a finisher’s medal and a Midzomer shirt. On the day, you can switch your entry to a shorter distance free of charge at the event office. The event also relies on volunteers to help with various tasks. Five distances: 7.5 km, 14 km, half marathon, 28 km and marathon; cycling companions are allowed for the half and full marathons; facilities include water and fruit stations, free parking and public transport connections.
