Deventer City

During the IJssel run, Deventer transforms into one great celebration of sport and community. Lace up your shoes, choose your distance, and take your place at the start. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced runner, this event is for everyone who loves the joy of running.

The course is as inspiring as it is varied: follow the river IJssel, enjoy wide views of the surrounding countryside, and feel the charm of the historic Hanseatic city as you pass its landmarks. Along the way, thousands of supporters line the streets — cheering, clapping, and creating an atmosphere that lifts every step.

Go for your favourite distance: 5, 10 or 15 kilometres. Would you rather take in the energy from the sidelines? Experience the festive atmosphere and encourage the runners from one of the many lively spots throughout the city.
