Did Amsterdam back in 08.
Great start and finish in the Olympic stadium. In between you get the city plus a run out into the countryside along the Amstel and back.

Oh and I should mention the unisex showers at finish ☺

Thanks pal

I have done it once before and I had similar memories.... although I struggled the during the bit in the middle where you hack along the Amstel for about 10 miles, but everything else spectacular

The Amsterdam Olympic stadium start and finish is epic.....

not tempted to do it again?

Actually neither did I.

Though another runner I know did 'Dam and said there were unisex showers, and remembers chatting about the race to a totally nude blonde Dutch girl.

I may have to do the race again, to investigate this claim.....
