Enschede Marathon, which would be organized on Sunday, April 19, is canceled. The Twee van Enschede on Saturday evening, April 18, has also been canceled, so as the conference “Get Ready” on April 16. The running event, which is scheduled to be held for the 52nd time this year, cannot take place due to the continuing threat of the corona virus.
Oldest marathon of the Netherlands!
The Enschede Marathon is the oldest marathon of The Netherlands and Western Europe. At the first edition, in July 1947, 51 runners participated in the running competition. Today, almost 11.000 participants participate and the number is growing every year. The course is known as very fast and Enschede is therefore in the top 5 of Dutch marathons together with Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Eindhoven. Along the course, some 82.000 loyal spectators are encouraging the runners every year. Traditionally, around 950 enthusiastic and involved volunteers are helping to make the day a success. Through their years of experience (some more than 30 years!), the volunteers of the Enschede Marathon are contributing significantly to putting together a highly successful event.
Distinctive in the international world of marathons: ladies first
Since 2015, the Enschede Marathon has given more attention to top female athletes and focuses on strong women. In this way, the Enschede Marathon distinguishes itself in the major international offer of competitions. The organisation commits almost the entire prize money for a strong female participant field.
