where to stay?
Is the pasta party worthwhile?
cafes any good?
race drink tips?
i stayed in hotel about a mile away (tulip) which was good to walk back to after race (altho i didnt think it at time, but my legs thanked me for it in morn)
didnt do pasta party so cant comment, expo was good, picked up couple things there,i wasnt there long enough to recomend any cafes etc but there is tons!but this year hope to go for about 4 days to explore the place better, its a lovely place
did you do a package trip Santababy or organise it yourself?
all the same day, i believe
not a 10k it's a 5k
Marathon 10.30 hours Olympic Stadium
Half Marathon 14.00 hours Stadionplein
Echo 5 km 11.15 hours Olympic Stadium
2.5 km Youth run 11.55 hours Stadionplein
there WAS a 10k last yr, there were about 10 of us who won, i did the marathon along with another guy, 4 people did the half and another 4 did the 10k...
flights are really cheap over to amsterdam and you can even enter the race ON THE DAY! so you dont really need to go for a package, its easy enough to find the stadium and enter yourself
will find you and ask you lots of questions next weekend if thats ok( you are doing lunch after Brass Monkey aren't you?)
we might need wellies if it keeps raining........
I have never run in this before so I am looking forward to it.
Well organised and easy to get to from Britain with cheap flights with Easyjet or slightly more expensive but bigger choice of times with KLM (from Bristol at least).
Train into Central station takes about 15mins and costs less than £3.50
see you all on the start line!
I know this is a bit of a stupid question but I'm looking for a fast autumn marathon and obviously though Holland would be flat - but is the course fast?
A gang of us are going over for the weekend from Sinfin Running Club (Derby)
I've entered and booked the flights. Bring it on. Ran London yesterday, hoping that Amsterdam will be much cooler!!
