What we talk about

• With over 30,000 participants this year, the Amsterdam Marathon weekend is buzzing with events for everyone: walks, kids' races, a 7.5K, half marathon, and the full marathon.

• The key cutoff is making the 25K mark—if you get there, you'll join the half marathoners and have a good chance of finishing, even if you're worried about the six-hour limit.

• The Amsterdam Marathon is one of Europe's most iconic races, starting and finishing in the historic Olympic Stadium and running past UNESCO-listed canals and bridges on a flat, fast course.
