Join us for the 50th Anniversary of the TCS Amsterdam Marathon! This event is a World Athletics Platinum Label Road Race, renowned for being one of the fastest courses in the world. In the ranking of fastest marathon cities, the largest marathon of the Netherlands is in fourth place. Highlights of the course include the start and finish in the Olympic Stadium, the passage through the Rijksmuseum and along the Heineken Experience, stretches along the Amstel and through the Vondelpark. The half-marathon & 7.5K will take place the same day.

Amsterdam has so much to offer such as museums, canals, cobbled streets and pretty quaint cafes to wine and dine. Getting around is easy by foot, bicycle, train, bus or tram. It is also known as one of the safest cities in Europe!

Our Amsterdam Marathon packages include a conveniently located hotel with breakfast for 4 nights. We also offer entry into all distances plus various opportunities to meet with fellow runners. Amsterdam South train station is only 5 minutes’ walk from the hotel, from which you can access Schiphol airport by direct train in 6 minutes. Perfectly positioned for race day the marathon runners pass our hotel which is in the 7km/8km area, 21km and 8km runners can easily be seen at various points close by and the race start/finish area is 25 minutes away. We invite you to take part in warm up runs, pasta dinner and celebrations and Marathon Tours & Travel team will be on hand for guidance and support to make your trip a success.
