Along the official course of the TCS Amsterdam Marathon, three Mini Marathons of 1 km each will be organized for children aged 4 to 12 years. After the Mini Marathons, the kids can immediately cheer on the Dutch and international top athletes running the full marathon. There are no participant limits for the Mini Marathons.
Registration
Registration is possible for one of the three locations listed below. The registration fee is € 2.00 per child. All proceeds will be donated to the Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur Amsterdam.

The three Mini Marathons all take place alongside the official course of the TCS Amsterdam Marathon. Will you stay after your Mini Marathon and encourage the Dutch and international top athletes of the TCS Amsterdam Marathon?

Charity
In Amsterdam, 1 out of 5 kids grows up living below the poverty line with insufficient economic resources. This means that approximately 30.000 children in Amsterdam do not have access to the opportunities that their more fortunate peers may take for granted, for example, participating in organized sports. Jeugdfonds Sport Amsterdam pays the membership fees for a child from a low-income family directly to the sports association. Requests can be send to one of the 1100 intermediaries in Amsterdam.
This year Jeugdfonds Sport and Le Champion are teaming up in order to get more children involved in sports in Amsterdam. Our mission on October the 20th: get Amsterdam kids moving! We are already looking forward to see those happy faces and running children during the Mini Marathons.
