Fall in love with Amsterdam

I want to come back here...

Amsterdam captivates you instantly. It simply draws you into its rhythm - through canals, art, bicycles, parks and evening lights. Until suddenly, you realise you no longer want to merely explore it. You want to become part of the city.

The City flows. Catch it's rythm.

01Taste

The first bite, still warm

A fresh stroopwafel, caramel on your fingers and coffee on the go. In Amsterdam, pleasure needs no reservation.

02Atmosphere

A Table Beside the Canal

Boats glide past, bicycles disappear over the bridge and coffee slowly cools. Here, the best plan is having none for a while.

03Nature

A green breath before the start

Old trees, quiet paths and the first movement of morning. Vondelpark proves that even race day can begin gently.

04Landmark

Run through art

You pass beneath the Rijksmuseum as art and marathon briefly meet. Few race routes take you through the heart of an icon.

05Legend

Houses that dance

Narrow, crooked and leaning against one another, they have watched themselves in the canals for centuries. Imperfect - and impossible to ignore.

Canals after dark

Bridge lights shimmer on the water as the houses lose their sharp edges. Amsterdam doesn’t fall asleep - it simply slows down.

Run. Discover. Come back changed.

Catch the city’s rhythm. Let the rest unfold along the way.

A few days before the race, all athletes who have registered will receive an e-mail as an official "letter of confirmation."

This e-mail will contain all the basic instructions for collecting your bib number and taking part in the race. You do not need to print a hard copy of the email itself; you can present it on a device such as a smartphone or tablet.

How will I collect my BIB?

You can collect your race bib and pre-ordered race shirt at the Marathon Expo at RAI Amsterdam, Entrance K, on the following days and during the following opening hours:

What points does the route pass through?

The TCS Amsterdam Marathon course brings together the city’s sporting history, art, modern architecture and the quieter landscapes along the River Amstel. It takes runners past some of Amsterdam’s most distinctive locations:

  • Olympic Stadium - the historic start and finish of the marathon.
  • Vondelpark - Amsterdam’s most famous park, which runners pass through twice.
  • Rijksmuseum - the course passes through the celebrated passage beneath the museum.
  • Heineken Experience - the former Heineken brewery and one of the city’s best-known attractions.
  • Zuidas - Amsterdam’s modern business district, known for its striking high-rise architecture.
  • River Amstel - a scenic stretch alongside the river, historic residences and traditional windmills.
  • Ouderkerk aan de Amstel - a peaceful section outside the city, where runners turn across Brug Oranjebaan.
  • Amstel Business Park - a lively part of the course filled with music, spectators and marathon energy.
  • Torontobrug - one of the final landmarks before runners return to Vondelpark and the Olympic Stadium.

The course is subject to minor changes.

Can I buy just the race bib, without the rest of the package?

42RunTravel does not currently offer race entries for the TCS Amsterdam Marathon.

Can I bring someone who isn't running?

Yes. In the configurator, you can add companions - they don't need a race bib and don't have to run.
