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. Finally, you’ll finish like a hero on the Coolsingel, with spectators giving you that final push and rewarding your achievement with loud cheers, applause and a medal. A memory that will last a lifetime.
