Leiden Marathon

A great Marathon experience. great route through the city and countryside. lots of crowds along the route, well stocked fuel stations with funky water sponges and beer at the finish. Good party atmosphere at the finish.

Great Finish along the canals, Cobble stones can be a bit heavy on the knees.

pros - great route, amazing locations, very enthusiastic crowd cons - at times the track was very narrow, results after 2 weeks are not uploaded yet! the whole event is organised for dutch people, is not an international event, the website of marathon is partially translated in english

I only ran the 10K but there wasn't anything to NOT LIKE about this race, WELL organized, free bag and tag (very secure) gorgeous route, with NON STOP CHEERING along the route and entertainment through out as well, what a fantastic race, TOP RATED!! LOVE LOVE LOVE this one. Make sure to pay extra for the shirt, nice quality.

The 10K was crowded at the start, but after about 4K in, it started to be a bit more manageable to get thru the narrow streets better. The route was awesome, perfect race.

I’m gonna join this year and this will be my first time to participate in marathon even I only take 10km run. Hope everything will go well!

My first try in marathon.

The 5 km race was held at night. Even so, the route was very well lit and it was possible to see the city's windmills illuminated.

The race course was fantastic in both the 5km and 10km and I managed to place 3rd in my age group for those born in 1975.

Loved it

Great small scale event. Despite the heat, the organization stepped up and made sure everyone was properly hydrated. The course is great, showcasing some nice dutch villages and landscape.

The organisation was great! Everything was well planned. The weather was quite awful but the water and sponge stations made up for it. However, they could increase the number of stations in the last 10k which i found to be quite sparse

I liked this hm a lot. very supportive crowd, well organized

Παρά πολύ καλή οργάνωση.

It was a great experience! Perfect conditions for a beginner.Flat road and soft curves. I run it this year for the first time and was really impressed by the organisation of the event. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a pleasant experience.

Great competition. Well organization but maybe others than bananas would be given during the run.eating 4 or 5 bananas during the marathon would be dangerous

I liked this race. Running it in 2018, the route was held both in the city itself and in the outskirts. I was very glad to take part in it. More about my experiences can be found here: androshchuk.com/running-for-rembrandt
