Join over 47 000 runners from over 140 countries for this unique city marathon! The event begins and finishes in the Olympic Stadium and provides a scenic course that is flat and fast-paced. Runners will follow the route along the Amsel River and through the Rijksmuseum and Vondelpark.

Amsterdam is known as one of Europe’s most stunning cities, and the Amsterdam Marathon allows runners to take in all of the major sights in a fantastic world-class event.
