About the Event

The Enschede Marathon offers runners a unique opportunity to participate in one of the oldest marathons not only in the Netherlands but also across Western Europe. This prestigious race has been running since 1947, and its 75th anniversary celebration in 2022 marked an important milestone in its rich history.
The course is renowned for being both scenic and fast, with well-maintained facilities that cater to runners of all levels. Starting on the University of Twente campus, participants will experience a vibrant academic atmosphere before heading onto the F35 cycle highway, known affectionately as "the fastest route" due to its smooth surface and minimal traffic.
As you approach the H.J. van Heekpark, lush greenery provides a stunning backdrop for this iconic stretch of the race. The park's winding paths offer runners a moment of respite before they head into Enschede’s bustling city center for the final kilometers. With an enthusiastic crowd estimated at 80,000 supporters cheering you on every step of the way, it is impossible not to feel energized and motivated.
The combination of historical significance, well-organized logistics, and a supportive community makes the Enschede Marathon a must-run event for any serious runner or marathon enthusiast.
