The Amsterdam Marathon is an annual long-distance running event held in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The official name is TCS Amsterdam Marathon. Around 35,000 athletes participate in the marathon race and other competitions. In 2022, 12,763 runners completed the marathon, and 14,627 finished the half marathon.
The Amsterdam Marathon is recognized as a Platinum Label event by World Athletics.
The first Amsterdam Marathon took place on 5 August 1928, during the Summer Olympics. After the Olympics, marathons were not held in Amsterdam until the race was revived in 1975. It has since been held annually, except for 1978 due to the Olympic Stadium’s inadequate condition, and in 2020, when the races were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and virtual competitions were conducted in its place.
The Amsterdam Marathon 2023 is a qualifying event for the Abbott WMM Wanda Age group World Championship.
