Fantastisk løb i en hyggelig og stemningsfyldt by - Nordens Venedig. Her er toppede brostens gader i den gamle bydel - mens marathon ruten foregår udenfor centrums snævre gader på lange lige stækninger, som giver en hurtig sluttid. Der er mulighed for at lave en fælles tur for mange i Kick: der er 7,5 km rute, 1/2 marathon rute og marathon rute - og alle løbere har det dejligt med at blive heppet på undervejs! Så kom og vær med! Der er en begrænsning på 15.000 deltagere i alt til marathon, halvmarathon og 7,5 km løb, så det er en god idé at sørge for at blive tilmeldt hurtigst muligt! NEWSLETTER JUNE 2010 Amsterdam Marathon on its way to a record Course change Tourism Tourist city running tours or Sightjogging Amsterdam Marathon on its way to a record Interest in the Amsterdam Marathon has never been greater. At this moment almost 11,000 participants have registered for the various distances. Participation in the Business Run has also increased greatly; 140 teams with 1,400 participants. Compared to last year this represents a substantial growth with nearly 5,000 athletes more. Therefore, organiser Le Champion’s ambition to grow considerably in the forthcoming years is on track. This year the marathon itself is attracting many more participants with more than half the participants so far entering for this distance. The Amsterdam Marathon is on its way to becoming The Netherlands’ biggest marathon. Runners are also registering in great numbers for the Mizuno Half Marathon and the Menzis 8 km. At the next edition we are expecting 10,000 people from abroad. The course is fast and flat and the many tourist attractions in the city make it very attractive. It is a city marathon where sport, culture and art come together.” Entry for the Amsterdam Marathon on the 17th of October is here possible up to and including the 19th of September. For more information check www.amsterdammarathon.nl. Course change The course of the Amsterdam Marathon consists of many Amsterdam highlights. For example you pass the world famous Rijksmuseum (photo) twice, you also pass the Tropenmuseum (Museum of the Tropics) and the Amstel Hotel and along the way you will be cheered on by the enthusiastic residents of Amsterdam. There is also the Vondel Park. Amsterdam’s biggest public park is approached from the Leidseplein side. The 48 hectare park is full of trees, ponds, footpaths and playing fields. Every ‘Amsterdammer’ loves it. During the marathon you cross the Vondel Park twice. The marathon course follows a part of the Olympic track along the Amstel River, past stately homes and a few windmills. This rural section of the course has beautiful panoramic views and leaves you with a good impression of the enormous activity that takes place everyday on the Amstel. Shopping Running a marathon in Amsterdam is an experience you will never forget. But Amsterdam has so much more to offer. Why not combine running in Amsterdam with a visit to one or more stunning tourist attractions. Enjoy a trip on the canals by boat or pedal boat, a walk along the city centre’s canals and its majestic houses, a look in the Red-light District, the majestic Dam, modern shopping in Kalverstraat or browsing in the Negen Straatjes district, a visit to Rijksmuseum or the Van Gogh museum, sitting down for a drink on Leidseplein or sampling the typically Amsterdam atmosphere in the one and only Jordaan district.
