Entries for the TCS Amsterdam Marathon closed with a record number of nationality’s – 105 different nationality’s will come into action on 18 October
During the 40th TCS Amsterdam Marathon on Sunday 18 October, the starting line will boast the most international field of marathon runners ever. An incredible 45,000 marathon runners from 105 different countries will come to Amsterdam to run their unique times.
Organiser Le Champion is pleasantly surprised that international interest has once again grown. The starting places for the marathon, Mizuno Half Marathon and TCS 8 km have since sold out.
The TCS Amsterdam Marathon has been the most international sports event in the Netherlands for many years. Last year marathon runners from 93 different countries entered, while this number was still 80 for the 35th edition.
Most foreigners come from Great Britain (4,100), followed by France (3,900), Germany (1,800), Belgium (1,540), Italy (1,200), Spain (850) and Brazil (800). Some of the countries that will participate for the first time include: the Bahamas, Gibraltar, Macau, Namibia and Vietnam.
