One of Europe's flattest, fastest marathons, and a PB machine since 1981. 42.195km of closed, straight city and riverside roads with barely 15m of climbing all day.
The route
A flat, fast, mostly straight loop on closed urban roads: out over the Erasmus Bridge, along the Nieuwe Maas quays past the Cube Houses, out to the Kralingen lake district and back. The bridge, crossed twice, is the only real rise on the whole course.
Mid-April, Rotterdam
Highs around 12°C and lows around 6°C, but it has dropped to 0°C. Rain on 28% of days. Pack for the cold end, not the average.
