5 APR 2009: ROTTERDAM MARATHON, HOLLAND

Rotterdam has long been recognised as one of the fastest courses in the world - the world best time has been set here on many occasions. It is certainly a fast and very flat course great for runners chasing a fast time but it is also a great marathon for runners further down the running order - so much so that it is a tradition that the race winner greats the last runner as he or she finishes.

There is a supporting 10km and 5km run.

Minimum age for the marathon is 18yrs for the marathon, 16 for the 10km and 14 for the 5km.

Why not training for the Rotterdam Marathon on the Runner's World Algarve Spring Training week.

Time limit for the marathon: 5hrs 30mins

Run this event for charity.
