Course NN Marathon Rotterdam

The NN Marathon Rotterdam is a real city marathon. As a participant in the Business Runs, you run the same course as the marathon runners. Each team member runs part of the course.

Immediately after the start you run over the Erasmus Bridge towards the south of Rotterdam. Along the course you will pass highlights such as Feijenoord Stadium and Ahoy before running over the Erasmus Bridge again. In the last kilometers you walk a loop around the Kralingse Plas and pass Rotterdam icons such as the Cube Houses and the Markthal. Eventually you finish like a hero on the Coolsingel, where spectators will give you the final push and you will be rewarded with lots of cheering, clapping and a medal. A memory for life.
