The TCS Amsterdam Marathon takes place on the weekend of Saturday, October 18 and Sunday, October 19. The main distance during the TCS Amsterdam Marathon is the TCS Marathon, which will be run on Sunday, October 19. The marathon not only brings a lot of running pleasure but also has necessary consequences for traffic.

On Sunday, October 19, barriers will be placed early in the morning along the streets where the race is taking place. We ask drivers to park their cars in another location before 11:00 PM on Saturday, October 18. Behind the barriers, there is a parking and stopping ban.

Owners of incorrectly parked cars will receive a fine, and the car may be towed. The ban is in effect from Saturday, October 18, at 11:00 PM until all barriers have been removed.
