Course NN Marathon Rotterdam
The NN Marathon Rotterdam is a true city marathon. Right after the starting gun, you’ll cross the Erasmus Bridge and head towards the south of Rotterdam. Along the course, you’ll pass highlights such as Stadion Feijenoord and Ahoy before crossing the Erasmus Bridge once again. In the final kilometres, you’ll run a loop around the Kralingse Plas and pass iconic Rotterdam landmarks 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.
