About the race
The NN Marathon Rotterdam is scheduled across two days on 10 and 11 April 2027 and is presented as the 46th edition of the event. The programme includes the international marathon over the classic distance of 42,195 km, which also serves as the Dutch national marathon championship. The organisers use a pre‑registration system for the marathon distance that aims to give equal chances to all applicants.
The course is described as flat and conducive to fast times. The finish is on Coolsingel in Rotterdam and large numbers of spectators line the route. The event weekend features a Marathon Sport Expo at the WTC/Postillion Convention Centre where participants collect race packs and event information. Timing is electronic via chips in the start numbers; participants are asked to wear the start number visibly and to fill in the medical passport on the rear of the bib.
A broad programme on the Saturday and Sunday offers multiple distances and formats for different ages and groups. Support services include aid stations with water and isotonic drink, on-course sponge stations and food items at specified points, medal engraving on site, pacers provided by the Dutch Pacing Team, and options for business and school participation. Practical information covers baggage drop, meeting points at the finish, and travel advice recommending public transport and cycling due to road closures.
