Rotterdam marathon

The Rotterdam marathon may not be on the list of the elite marathon majors, but it is still a very significant event, bringing thousands of runners to this Dutch port city each April.

The marathon in Rotterdam, the second largest town in The Netherlands, is currently sponsored by NN. For those who don't know of this place, or that it even hosts a marathon, then you will be even more surprised to learn that, in terms of attendance figures, it is actually the largest single day event held in Holland, usually attracting a crowd of spectators of up to a million lining the city streets.

The course itself is renowned for being flat and fast, the former characteristic certainly something you won't be shocked to find in the aptly names low countries, and this, along with the friendly temperate weather conditions means that a large number of elite athletes will travel here to take part, even though it clashes with the Boston marathon. The field is capped at 10,000 and these places are always filled well in advance, so if you would like to take part in the Rotterdam marathon then make sure you plan well, in advance.

TV & Live Streaming

Until relatively recently finding any online coverage of even the marathon majors was a tricky task, and coverage of the smaller races almost non-existent away from small local TV stations. That has changed in recent times with a live online stream of the whole race being provided by Eversport TV.
