Long Course Weekend Netherlands
Your Sport. Your Way. One Unforgettable Finish.
Long Course Weekend is not just a race, it’s a three-day festival of sport with an atmosphere you have to experience to believe. Whether you’re new to the start line or chasing a PB, this is your chance to mix & match your perfect weekend across three classic disciplines: swim, bike, run, each offered in multiple distances to suit every level.
Take on one event, combine two, or go all in with the Full Long Course, the longest distance in each sport, spread across three days. Finish all three, and you’ll earn the coveted fourth medal: a true badge of achievement.
In May 2026, dsm-firmenich Long Course Weekend happens in Maastricht for its second edition in the Netherlands. Expect unforgettable finish line moments, an electric atmosphere, and a format built for fun, flexibility, and pushing your personal limits.
Your weekend. Your pace. Your story.
