A course that matches your pace
For the extra kilometres needed for the full marathon distance, the existing course has been carefully extended. The marathon route connects seamlessly to the familiar route. The course has been designed with one idea in mind: it should feel logical from start to finish, so you can focus on your pace, your goal and the experience itself.
Winschoten veranderd in een groot feest!
For runners who want to take the next step
Whether you are on the starting line for your very first marathon or deliberately looking for that one moment when you go further than you ever have before: RUN gets you moving.
The crowd carries you, the atmosphere pulls you along, and everything around you is set up to help you move forward. In 2026, something special is added. You are not just running an edition, you are helping write fifty years of running history.
The strength of an experienced organisation
For decades, RUN has been driven by a committed team of volunteers, sponsors and suppliers. Their experience formed the basis for the successful introduction of the marathon in 2025 and is also indispensable in the anniversary year. The organisation is working towards an edition that is not only festive, but also tightly organised and fully focused on a safe sports day.
On to a special anniversary edition
The 50th RUN Winschoten will be an edition that inspires and shows how strong the event has become in half a century! With the marathon as a returning distance, 2026 will have a programme that feels both familiar and innovative. If you have been looking for a moment to take the leap for a while, this is the year to do it!
