Running program set for Sunday October 15

The TCS Amsterdam Marathon holds the Platinum Label, the highest reward of the international athletics federation World Athletics, and has had one of the fastest courses in the world. Three running events are scheduled on Sunday 15 October:

TCS Marathon
Going for the full marathon distance? Then your starting gun will sound at 9.00 hours in the Olympic Stadium. This is followed by a course through the heart of the Rijksmuseum, the Vondelpark, along the Amstel River and the Heineken Experience. There are 2,000 extra starting places available for the full marathon this year; there is a limit of 20,000 runners.

Mizuno Half Marathon
Did you know that the Mizuno Half Marathon is the largest half marathon in the Netherlands? The start is at 13.00 hours on Stadionweg opposite the Olympic Stadium. From here, a course follows via Churchilllaan and the Utrechtsebrug over the Amstel river and past the Rijksmuseum to the finish in the Olympic Stadium. Again, the limit is set at 20,000 participants.

TCS 8K
The 8K is an ideal distance for novice runners and will start after the full marathon at 9.40 hours. Starting from Stadionweg, the course follows the first small lap of the official marathon course. The finish line is at the Olympic Stadium, as with the other two distances. A maximum of 5,000 runners can participate in this distance.
