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.
limited edition running shirt
A limited edition running shirt from Asics is being designed for the NN Marathon Rotterdam. As a participant in the Business Runs, this is included in your registration.
When registering, each participant can choose his or her size. If you are already registered, you can adjust the size via your personal dashboard. The link to your personal dashboard can be found in the confirmation email you received when you registered.
