Amsterdam

The Amsterdam marathon is one of our favourite races. It takes place each October in a fascinating city that is easily accessible from the UK. The race itself starts and finishes in the stadium used for the 1928 Olympics providing an incredible atmosphere at the start and finish of the race with the stands packed with spectators of all nationalities supporting around 10,000 runners from overseas.

Flights are still pretty cheap at this stage from a number of carriers and accommodation in Amsterdam is in plentiful supply.

In addition to the marathon race there are half marathon and 8k races on the same day. The events take place on Sunday October 17th 2010. Race places for all events are available on a first come first served basis from the Amsterdam marathon website.

Over 11,000 people have already registered for these fast, flat races which are always enthusiastically supported.
