The event in a few words

It's not about slowness, Lentemarathon means "Spring Marathon" in Dutch ๐Ÿค“.

It fits perfectly, as you have a date in the Netherlands in March for the KPMG Amstelveen Spring Marathon! ๐Ÿค— To celebrate the return of spring ๐ŸŒž, the warmth, and the beautiful flowers, why not enjoy a marathon between city and nature? ๐Ÿ‘€ Amstelveen, just a few kilometers from Amsterdam, makes this possible! The event is quite new, but in just 3 years, the number of participants has more than doubled, going from 4,000 to 9,000 runners ๐Ÿคฏ. This spring marathon has all the makings of a big one, almost like the Amsterdam Marathon! And like it, it sells out at each edition, so be ready for the top sales launch! ๐Ÿ’ฅ

But before that, we need to tell you more about the event in detail โฌ‡๏ธ. You'll need to be fast and not just to get your bib! The KPMG Amstelveen Spring Marathon course is also very fast ๐Ÿš€. 2h 28min and 41 seconds, that's the record to beat for the marathon! We warned you, it's tough ๐Ÿ’ช. At the same time, the Dutch ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ plains are not known for their elevation, making it a delight for runners! ๐Ÿƒ If you're not feeling up to so many kilometers ๐Ÿ˜ฌ, 3 other distances are available: a half-marathon, a 10 km, and a 5 km night run ๐ŸŒ”. So no excuses not to participate โŒ. And if that's not enough to convince you, the 5 and 10 km are open to walkers. Bring the whole family, everyone will find something they love. Even future champs have their own race! ๐Ÿ‘ถ The KPMG Amstelveen Spring Marathon isn't just for speed lovers, it's also for runners wanting to enjoy the scenery. Spoiler alert ๐Ÿšจ, here's a sneak peek of some course highlights! Historic center, forest trails ๐ŸŒณ, Amstel river (no, it's not beer flowing in it ๐Ÿป), or the Oude Dorp neighborhood... A true journey awaits ๐Ÿคฉ. And to finish this journey with a flourish, head to the mall! ๐Ÿ›๏ธ Yes, you read that right ๐Ÿ˜‚. The finish line is right in the middle of the large Amstelveen shopping center ๐Ÿ“. You didn't expect such an ending, did you? ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Well, after spending all your money ๐Ÿ’ฐ in the Dutch stores to celebrate your victory ๐Ÿฅ‡, what could you do next? ๐Ÿค” Refuel? The city has it all planned out! Cheese vendors abound, so you'll easily find some Edam, a typical Dutch cheese, to enjoy ๐Ÿ˜‹. After this feast, you'll probably be thirsty, so it's time to savor an Amstel on a terrace, under the spring sun โ˜€๏ธ (drink responsibly โš ๏ธ). Yes, with the return of good weather, outdoor walks are a great way to combine a convivial moment and recovery for your sore legs! There are many parks: Jac P Thijssepark, Kersenbloesempark, Broersepark... ๐Ÿƒ Don't worry, the parks have more charm than their spelling ๐Ÿ˜‚.

So do us a favor, grab your bib before it's too late ๐Ÿ˜‰.
