The first women have also now passed the 15 kilometers. The large group of women did so in a time of 49 minutes and 10 seconds. The pace is considerably higher than last year.

The leading group for the men passes in 44 minutes and 4 seconds (unofficial time) after the 15 kilometer point, which is located near the De Riekermolen along the Amstel.

Bernard Koech must stop the fight. The Ethiopian was one of the favorites for victory. With a personal record of 2:04.53 he is one of the fastest participants.

The first men arrive at the 10 kilometer point in the Rivierenbuurt after 29 minutes and 28 seconds (unofficial time). This means that the pace has been considerably increased by the top athletes. This means they are now closer to the intended timetable. Khalid Choukoud is just over a minute behind the lead. He’s on schedule for 2:08.00.

After 22.30 minutes, the men’s leading group passes the A10 ring road and therefore runs across the Zuidas towards Buitenveldert.

Many Dutch top athletes participate in the Amsterdam Marathon. Among the men, the eyes are on Khalid Choukoud. Richard Douma, record holder for the 5km and 10km, Roy Hoornweg and Luuk Maas will also be present.

The speed is high and the athletes have difficulty with the sharp turns at the Rijksmuseum. Because of the new shoes, which have a carbon plate, taking sharp turns is a bit more difficult. The speed is higher and the load is also lower with the new shoes.

The athletes have now traveled just over 3 kilometers and are crossing the Vondelpark. The athletes will soon continue towards the Rijksmuseum.

The Amsterdam Marathon is one of twelve marathons around the world with a Platinum Label from the World Athletics Federation. Amsterdam is the only Dutch marathon with this status. The race therefore ranks alongside the prestigious marathons of New York, Berlin, Tokyo, Boston, Chicago and London.

The starting gun for the 47th edition of the Amsterdam Marathon sounds in the Olympic Stadium.

Almaz Ayana smashed the course record among women last year. On Sunday, October 16, 2022, she clocked a time of 2 hours, 17 minutes and 20 seconds during the Amsterdam Marathon. For men, the record dates from a year earlier. In 2021, Tamirat Tola from Ethiopia recorded a time of 2 hours, 3 minutes and 39 seconds.

In Amsterdam it is currently only eight and eight degrees. There is currently a shower over the city, but it will be dry when it starts. The start of the race will be dry, but the riders will have to deal with rain again after the first hour. The temperature today will reach a maximum of around 12 degrees.

About 20,529 registrations have been received for the Amsterdam Marathon. The participants are spread across 131 countries. The average age of registrations is 36.5 years.

The Amsterdam Marathon is on the program this Sunday. You can watch the match live on NH, but we will of course keep you informed of all developments via the live blog.

Thanks for following. We will be there again early tomorrow morning with, among other things, the Amsterdam Marathon. See you tomorrow!
