The marathon consists of one loop, most of which passes through the attractive centre of Amsterdam. The course starts at the Stadionweg and goes through Churchilllaan, Rijnstraat and the Utrechtse Bridge over the Amstel River. Next you run through Watergraafsmeer and Zeeburg. The rest of the course is the same as that of the full marathon.

The course leads the participants through Amsterdam’s city centre and passes many highlights.

Flat, fast, historic and based at the Olympic Stadium.

Olympic Stadium

The start and finish of the marathon take place in front of the grandstand in the Olympic Stadium. This splendidly renovated, over 85-year-old stadium will leave a memorable impression at the end of the race. Supporters and other spectators have free access to the grandstand.

Rijksmuseum

The famous route connecting Amsterdam city centre with the south of Amsterdam. The monumental building contains some of the most world-famous works of art by celebrated Dutch masters such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Vermeer.

Vondelpark

The largest public park in Amsterdam with 48-hectares full of trees, ponds, paths and playing fields and is valued by city residents.

Amstel River

The route follows part of the Olympic course along the Amstel River, past stately mansions and several windmills. This rural part of the course has splendid panoramic views. In the distance the Arena is visible – the home stadium of the famous Ajax football team. The meandering route along the Amstel is interesting for its range of scenery and also seeing other participants running on the other side!
