The Women's road race of the 2013 Dutch National Road Race Championships cycling event took place on 22 June 2013 in and around Kerkrade in the province Limburg, the Netherlands. The race consisted of 13 laps of 8.8 km making a total distance of 114.4 km. 28 of the 133 women's finished the race.
Lucinda Brand (Rabobank–Liv Giant) rode away from the bunch in the second lap. After losing many riders in the chasing group due to many attacks of the other Rabobank–Liv Giant riders, only the Specialized–lululemon rider Ellen van Dijk, Argos-Shimano rider Amy Pieters and two Rabobank–Liv Giant riders Marianne Vos and Annemiek van Vleuten were together in the front. With a few laps to go also Pieters could not keep up the pace. Despite the fact that Van Dijk rode really strong in the chasing group, she had to abandon the race due to a broken derailleur in the second last lap. From then on Vos and Van Vleuten stopped chasing and so Brand won the race.
