Leiden Marathon 2027 – Run, walk and enjoy!
On 8 and 9 May 2027, it’s that time of year again: the 36th Leiden Marathon and the 8th Walking Marathon are just around the corner! What once began as a sporting adventure has now grown into the ultimate sporting festival weekend for Leiden and the surrounding area.
The 2026 walking edition was a special one: loads of walkers, a bustling city and that unique Leiden atmosphere everywhere you looked. That’s exactly the feeling we want to recreate in 2027 – and, of course, make it even better.
Whether you’re coming for the sporting challenge, the beautiful routes through the city and the surrounding countryside, or simply for the fantastic atmosphere along the way: Leiden never disappoints.
On Saturday, the walkers will follow the same beautiful routes as the runners do on Sunday. One loop, plenty to experience, and hundreds of volunteers along the way ready to make your day something special. Because even after 36 editions, one thing remains central to us:
It’s all about you!
Make sure you register in good time, as previous editions have sold out. Registration is open until 1 May 2027, unless a distance fills up earlier.
The entry fees for the Walking Marathon are:
* 10 km: €17.00
* Half Marathon (21 km): €22.00
* Full Marathon (42 km): €32.00
We look forward to seeing you in May. Running, walking, enjoying yourselves — but above all, joining us in Leiden!
