On Sunday, 50,000 runners can join the Dam tot Damloop. The unparalleled atmosphere, the tunnel, one of the world's largest business streets and the fact that starting and finishing in two different cities make this event so special. The distance is 10 English Mile, which also includes a number of world top runners each year. In addition, the Mini Dam to Damlopen is organized in Zaandam and Amsterdam North.
A day earlier, on Saturday evening, September 16th, the Damloop by night takes place. Up to 15,000 runners can participate in this 5-mile mile (8km) through the illuminated streets of Zaandam. The evening part of Dutch biggest running event is especially attractive for beginners, but it is also well suited as a warm-up walk for the 10th English Mile on Sunday or contestants who have more focused on shorter distances. The trail includes the Burcht, Zuiddijk and the watery area around the Voorzaan.

It came up like a 'wild' thought, but it was a golden idea: organizing a race contest through the tunnel between the 'Dammen' of Zaandam and Amsterdam. Bedenker: Cees Lansbergen of Le Champion in 1981.
The idea did not fall out of the air, because on August 27, 1959, the first Dam to Dam race was held in a tunnel lobby. The North Sea Channel was a major obstacle from Amsterdam to the north after the Second World War, and vice versa. The Zaan region, especially Zaandam, noticed that. For the
open and the Hempont was the most important connection. In 1959, 5,800 cars were transported daily, with waiting times of up to three quarters. Not surprisingly, so action has been taken for a better, faster connection. That should be a tunnel under the North Sea Channel.
Thus the Dam to Dam race was organized: from the Zaanse Dam to the Amsterdam Dam. It did not matter how to move between start and finish, if it was fast. It was especially a fun action. In the race and its preparation, spectators could enjoy strange appearances like cossacks and camels. The Zaandam Mayor Francken walked into a diving suit over the bottom of the North Sea Canal from Amsterdam to Zaandam. In addition, there were a number of well-known Dutch, such as poet Simon Vinkenoog and Opland artist. Winner became 32-year-old Wout Bruynzeel with a time of 10.25 min. He used a speedboat. The tunnel came there. On 21 June 1966, then, Queen Juliana de Coentunnel opened. Meanwhile, this connection has too little capacity and in 2013 the Second Coentunnel was opened.

DAM TOT DAMLOOP
Both the competition and the fitness run will once again cover a 10 Mile (16.09 km) route.On leaving the tunnel, runners will continue across the motorway and take the second turn towards the Buiksloterdijk. They will then turn onto Molenwijkpark via the Landsmeerderdijk, Kadoelenweg, Stoombootweg and Appelweg. After Molenwijkpark, runners will take the cycle path on the Verlengde Stellingweg to Noorder IJ- and Zeedijk in Zaandam where the course crosses the Zuiddijk and Dam to the finish on the Peperstraat.
Every kilometer is clearly signposted. With over 40 bands, dance troupes, and brass bands, an unforgettable atmosphere will be created.Due to the large number of participants we ask everyone to run at the right side of the road so people can overtake on the left.
START AND FINISH
Start
In order to achieve a smooth flow along the course, runners will begin in several different groups. The groups will leave in phases to prevent bottlenecks forming along the course.
Time groups
Please note! It is absolutely not permitted to start in an earlier start group to than which you have been allocated. Starting in a later group is possible, provided that it is no later than the last starting time. Five starting pens have been installed at the Prins Hendrikkade near the Central Station in Amsterdam. Each starting pen will be opened 20 minutes before the starting time. It is your own responsibility to ensure that you are entering the correct starting pen. The bib numbers belonging to the starting pens are clearly indicated with colours and numbers at the entrance gates of each starting pen. Runners are expected to be in their starting pens at least 10 minutes before the start. The pens will be used several times for a starting group.
Participants will be classified into time groups according to the finishing time you have indicated at time of entry. Because you will be using a chip for time registration, your start time begins to run only when you pass the start line, making it unnecessary to be at the front.

HISTORY
The realization of tests of"great bottom" or "marathon"in our city have a great tradition since the first competition on a route approximated to 40 km.It took place in 1903, between the downtown area and the Flores neighborhood.In 1910, on the occasion of the celebrations of the Centennial of the May Revolution, a marathon was held on the Olympic distance (42.195 meters, instituted shortly before) and was won by the great star of those times, the Italian Dorando Pietri.
Also, the marathon is the discipline that gave greater satisfaction to the Argentine athletics in its history:two Olympic gold medals(Juan Carlos Zabala in Los Angeles 1932 and Delfo Cabrera in London 1948)and the second placeof Reinaldo Gorno in Helsinki 1952, in addition of other relevant actions, the last of them by Osvaldo Suárez, 9th in the 1960 Rome Games with a South American record of 2h.21m.27s.
The idea of the realization of a marathon of the city, with a fixed date in the calendar and according to the phenomenon of this test and the "running" in general that was seen worldwide at the end of the 70s, was impelled by two of the biggest runners in our history - the aforementioned Suárez and Domingo Amaison - together with Angel Coerezza, from the Adidas firm.
And so,from 1984the International Marathon of the City of Buenos Aires is disputed in an uninterrupted way -with the exception of 2002- and every time with greater call, in quality and quantity.Since the last decade, the organization was taken over by the then Ñandú Foundation chaired by Carlos Sáez and, in recent years, turned into the Ñandú Race and Marathon Association, with the control of the Argentine Athletics Confederation and the Metropolitan Athletic Federation.
The BA International Marathon also integrates the calendar of the International Marathon Association (AIMS) and its new circuit - scheduled for 2017 -has been officially certified by the IAAF,qualifying for the last World Championships and Olympic Games.
The Marathon also included in several opportunities the National Championship, the South American Championship (2009 and 2013) and the Ibero-American Championship (2010 and 2017).
And it has been in constant growth to becomethe most convincing in Latin America,with more than 10 thousand participants in each of its last five editions.
The main figures of athletics in the background of our country in recent decades took part in this race, reached to be among their winning names as Juan Pablo Juárez, Toribio Gutierrez, Herman Cortinez, Griselda Gonzalez, Sandra Torres Alvarez and Mariano Mastromarino, among others .But also the international level was growing and in the last edition, held on October 10, 2017, for the first time a winner wasbelow 2 hours and 10 minutes,the Kenyan Barnabas Kiptum.In ladies, the Buenos Aires marathon record corresponds to the Ethiopian Abeba Tekukulu since 2013.

In 1981 the Oslo Marathon was held for the first time. At this time marathon running had become a major sporting event across the world. and event holders reported large numbers of participants. Every large city also had its own marathon event (New York, London, Stockholm etc). It was therefore natural that Oslo should also have its own marathon event. Bislett Alliansen took initiative and the first Oslo Marathon was underway.
There are over 500 marathon events in the world over the course of a year. Why not run the marathon in beautiful Oslo? Here you will run two rounds of the city with the start and finish lines at Rådhusplassen.
