TCS Amsterdam Marathon

The Amsterdam Marathon runs runners through Vondelpark twice and right beneath the Rijksmuseum once, starting and finishing inside the 1928 Olympic Stadium. The narrow canal-side streets can get tight, but that's the trade-off for one of the flattest, most record-friendly courses around. October here is damp and changeable, and the finish inside the stadium is short on alcohol — for real recovery, runners head into the city for canal-side beers and rijsttafel.

Reviews
David Power (блог)2023
Finishing inside the 1928 Olympic Stadium is one of the best parts of the race. Whether it takes two hours or six, everyone gets that same huge emotional release crossing the line.
Jessie Benson (The Right Fits)2025
My 49th marathon and my fastest of 2025 — nearly a six-minute negative split. The start-line bathroom lines were insane, but the locals shouting "Hup!" made it worth it.
