NN Marathon Rotterdam postponed

On Thursday the 12th of March at 12 pm, the organisation has decided to postpone the NN Marathon Rotterdam to a date later this year, due to coronavirus.

Due to the recent developments of COVID-19, the organisation had no other choice then postpone the entire event. A setback for everyone who was looking forward to the event, including us as organisation. Nevertheless the safety and health of the runners, volunteers, spectators and other stakeholders is always our first priority. The organisation will announce the new date later.

Kipserem breaks course record at NN Marathon Rotterdam

Marius Kipserum (Kenya) wins the NN Marathon Rotterdam in a course record. He finished after a thrilling race in a time of 2.04.11, 16 seconds faster than the Kenyan Duncan Kibet 10 years ago. Kaan Özbilen (2.05.27) and Saina (2.05.42) completes the podium of the 39th edition of the NN Marathon Rotterdam. Abdi Nageeye (4th place), ran a personal record and breaks the national record for the Netherlands in a time of 2.06.17.

For Kipserem, who also won in Rotterdam in 2016, meant no personal record with the 2.04.11. He was in 2018 seven seconds faster in Abu Dhabi (2.04.04). Only the time is not official recognized, because there was a wrong deposit in the course and therefore the course would have been 200 meters too short.

The Ethiopian Ashete Bekere won in 2.15.22 the women race. The Kenyan Stella Barsasio stayed in her company for a long time, but had to drop out in the final and finished second in 34 seconds.

It was the 39th edition of the NN Marathon Rotterdam. The edition was sold out, 17.000 runners took part and that was the maximum number allowed.

Marathon distance sold out

All 17.000 entries for the marathon distance have sold out. The AD City Run Rotterdam (4,2 km) entries are still open, so it's not too late to involve the whole family.
