Rotterdam Marathon 2027
Rotterdam, Netherlands
The course
The course starts at the foot of the Erasmus Bridge and loops through Rotterdam's districts, including Feijenoord, past the Ahoy arena, and around the Kralingse Plas lake, before finishing on the Coolsingel boulevard in front of the Town Hall. It is a flat, fast course on wide roads with virtually no elevation change, known for producing fast times. Long straight stretches and paced elite groups make it a time-focused course. The 2026 finish line was moved slightly earlier on the Coolsingel due to construction at Hofplein.
