The ABN AMRO Marathon Rotterdam has been the biggest one-day sporting event in the Netherlands for 12 years in a row. The world's top athletes will be at the start on the bustling Coolsingel, alongside thousands of other runners who will also triumph, each in their own unique way. The marathon weekend is a wonderful blend of (top) sport and festival. No other marathon in the Netherlands can match the atmosphere in Rotterdam; 925,000 spectators along the course make the party complete.
