The City Run Rotterdam starts on Coolsingel, near the WTC. From here, the route leads to Leuvehaven in the direction of the Erasmus Bridge and returns via the Maritime District to the bustling city centre. The finish line is in the city centre, at the same spot where the marathon runners finish a day later. A real marathon experience guaranteed!
