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, 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.

Tips for your first marathon
Your first marathon isn’t about your finishing time, but about the experience, the journey and crossing the finish line.
At the same time, it’s worth noting that first-time participants are more likely to overheat and experience a drop in performance in the second half of the race. This calls for extra awareness and smart choices, particularly in (higher) temperatures.
