Amsterdam Marathon 2009 event details
The Amsterdam marathon is building a reputation to rival that of the city itself. Internationally recognised as one of the top marathon events the vast majority of participants are foreign runners, attracted by the undeniable charms of the city and an increasingly swift course.
This popular sporting event has been held every year since 1975 and draws bigger crowds year on year. Nearly 200,000 spectators crowd the streets and canals to watch the athletes, with a further 10,000 inside the Olympic Stadium, to witness the start and the finish of the race giving you a much deserved heroes welcome as you complete the run. Predictably, the course is a flat one and includes nature reserves on both sides of the river Amstel, the Maritime Museum, the historic canals lined with gabled houses, the world renowned Rijksmuseum and the leafy acres of the Vondelpark.
Amsterdam combines a beautiful marathon course with enthusiastic support and the unique culture of the city to produce a fantastic event weekend enjoyed by participants and supporters alike.
