I am thinking about entering the Amsterdam marathon after seeing that it appeared in the top 10 world marathons, as well as the fact that it is just as cheap to get to as London.
Has anyone entered or run it. I am slightly confused by the online entry system, and is it true that you can enter on the day? What is the procedure for picking up race numbers etc... i.e when is the latest that you have to be there.
For anyone else who is interested it takes place on the 20th October
Thanks for any advice

I've made enquires about the Half in Amsterdam. I don't think my body can handle the full marathon so soon after my achilles injury (sustained during FLM). I'm on my comeback trail and thought an overseas half would be good. What's the best way to go about entring ??? I should use SportsTours or LPG. Should i just enter on the day, make my own travel/hotel-guesthouse arrangements. Good luck with the training and who knows, might meet up for a few post-race beers in Amsterdam.
I have just entered on-line so no going back now ) Looks like a great race.
RFYL: You can enter via www.amsterdammarathon.nl/en I guess there is no real advantage to doing this if you have to pick up your race number and you can enter on the day. I have just got coach travel for under £50 return, so added to one nights accomodation this would prove much cheaper than using the 'sports operators'.
