Description

Join #TeamDEBRA for Amsterdam Marathon and Half Marathon 2026. The TCS Amsterdam Marathon is a World Athletics Platinum Label Road Race that for years has had one of the fastest courses in the world. In the ranking of fastest marathon cities, the largest marathon of the Netherlands is in fourth place.

Start and finish your Amsterdam Marathon or Half Marathon in the iconic Olympic Stadium from 1928, run past the the Rijksmuseum, the Vondelpark, the Amstel, and the Heineken Experience. 

The marathon is the main event of a major weekend of activities for runners and newcomers to the sport – all showcasing this beautiful European city with its signature windmills and rural scenery.

For Amsterdam Half Marathon, join over 18,500 marathon runners who take in the major sites of one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, Amsterdam. 

The flat and fast course is packed with scenery as you run through Vondelpark & Rijksmuseum, following the Amsel River, you will be sure to see many canals and windmills but whatever you do, do not stop at a pancake house until the end of the race!
