Shokz named official headphone partner TCS Amsterdam Marathon

Shokz, the global pioneer in open-ear technology, proudly announces that it has become the official headphone partner of the TCS Amsterdam Marathon 2025. This partnership follows Shokz’s collaboration with the TCS London Marathon (April), the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris (April), and the BMW Berlin-Marathon (September) this year in Europe, and underscores the brand’s commitment to supporting marathon runners worldwide in achieving their personal records. 

The partnership comes in a special anniversary year: the 750th anniversary of the city of Amsterdam and the 50th edition of the TCS Amsterdam Marathon. The World Athletics Platinum Label marathon attracts over 45,000 participants annually across various distances from more than 100 countries. The international appeal of the marathon aligns perfectly with Shokz’s mission to inspire and support runners worldwide while always contributing to safety through situational awareness, during training and races.
 
René Wit, Race Director of the TCS Amsterdam Marathon, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Shokz as the official partner of the TCS Amsterdam Marathon. Their innovative approach to audio technology aligns perfectly with our mission to enhance the running experience for every participant. We look forward to a successful collaboration that adds value to both our event and the running community.”
 
International Marathon Expo
Shokz is the only headphone brand among the official sponsors. The partnership includes both financial support for the event and the application of Shokz’s expertise in professional sports audio to support runners in their training and race experience.
 
The International Marathon Expo at RAI Amsterdam (October 16-18) is not only the place for marathon participants to collect their race numbers but also where runners and sports enthusiasts can share their passion for running and explore the latest innovations in running, health, nutrition, sportswear, and lifestyle. Shokz will be prominently featured at the expo this year, welcoming visitors to its branded stand, where visitors can experience Shokz product, learn more about the brand, and join in special celebration activities marking Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary and the marathon’s 50th edition.
 
On October 19, Shokz will have an exclusive Fan Zone along the marathon route. Together with fans, the brand aims to create an unforgettable marathon atmosphere, cheering on participants with Shokz merchandise.
 
Marathon-proof
Thanks to Shokz’s signature open-ear design, ears remain completely free, allowing runners to stay aware of their surroundings while enjoying their favorite audio and the electrifying energy of spectators along the route. As part of its global marathon initiative in 2025, Shokz brings the “Cheers Never Stop” spirit to Amsterdam, celebrating the relentless rhythm of runners’ steps, the energizing power of music, and the cheering voices along the course.
 
To help runners fully embrace this energy and focus on their performance, Shokz provides high-quality audio that helps runners pace themselves, while the lightweight sweat- and splash-resistant design and long battery life ensure comfort from start to finish.
