TCS Amsterdam Marathon 2026
The TCS Amsterdam Marathon is on Sunday 18 October 2026, one of the fastest big-city marathons in Europe and the one most Dutch and Belgian runners target for a personal best. It falls a week after Chicago and two weeks before New York, so the mid-October slot puts it in the heart of the autumn marathon season.
The course is flat, which is the point of Amsterdam: the city sits at sea level and the route along the Amstel river has nothing that could be called a hill. The weather is the variable. Mid-October in the Netherlands can be still and cool, which produces the fast times, or wet and windy off the North Sea, which does not.
Entries go through tcsamsterdammarathon.nl. The event has sold out well ahead of race day in recent years, so the registration opening is the date to track.
