Why join #TeamMRF at the Amsterdam Marathon?
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.
Start Area A Olympic Stadium
Start Area A is on the field inside of the Olympic Stadium. After entrance through the marathon gate you will be directed to your start wave. Each start wave corresponds with an expected finish time. The colour on the bib number corresponds to your permitted start wave.
Each step you take in Amsterdam is a step towards defeating meningitis – together we can do it.
