Enschede Marathon

The Enschede Marathon is the oldest marathon in the Netherlands and Western Europe. The first edition, in July 1947, saw 51 runners participate in the race. Today, nearly 11,000 participants take part, and the number continues to grow.

The course is known for being very fast and ranks alongside Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Eindhoven as one of the top marathons in the Netherlands. Each year, around 80,000 loyal spectators cheer on the runners along the route. Traditionally, about 950 enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers help make the day a success. With their years of experience (some even over 30 years!), the volunteers of the Enschede Marathon are essential in creating a highly successful event.
