training

The Road2Rotterdam Training Run program consists of a series of four training runs of 20, 25, 30, and 35 km, taking place on Saturdays and/or Sundays in January, February, and March 2026, respectively.

You can join a group led by experienced and easily recognizable pacers. The starting point is the five kilometer times, which start at 22:30 minutes (4:30 min/km) and then increase to 32:30 minutes (6:30 min/km).

You can join a pace group that comes closest to your desired personal marathon target time. It is common to run your training runs at a slower pace than your personal marathon target time. You are expected to be able to reach the level of the last group (6.30 per km). The pacers also act as a source of information and point of contact.

Water and sports drinks are available at every 5 km point and tea and a banana at the finish, just like at the NN Marathon Rotterdam.

Registration for the Road2Rotterdam Training Runs is only possible via late registration at the relevant location on the morning of the training run. The costs of the training run depend on the association, but will start at 6 euros per training (cash and debit card payments possible).

N.B. During the first training run it is also possible to register for all dates at once.

If you registered via the registration form during registration, this is non-refundable.
