50 years Amsterdam Marathon—the record-breaking coffee table book

Feel the pulse of Amsterdam. Here, the world comes not just to run, but to finish as one. Discover the untold stories, rare images and iconic moments of a race that grew from 300 runners in 1975 to 30,000 from 140 nations in 2025. This is your front-row pass to 50 years of bucket-list history.
After a symbolic start by Mayor Femke Halsema, you’ll be taken past city icons such as the Rijksmuseum, Dam Square, the Amstel River, and Vondelpark. Featuring new portraits of top athletes like Abdi Nageeye and stories never told before. Why was Marja Wokke overlooked at the finish, even after breaking records as the first Dutch woman? And what were the remarkable trophies from the early years of the marathon that continue to surprise everyone?
