Olympian Khalid Choukoud at the start of the Amsterdam marathon
Khalid Choukoud will be one of the big names at the TCS Amsterdam Marathon on Sunday 20 October.
In recent years, the 38-year-old athlete has achieved great results in the autumn marathon. He won the national title in Amsterdam three times (2016, 2021 and 2022).
This summer, Choukoud did even more at the Olympic Games in Paris and Amsterdam will be his next marathon.
"The Amsterdam marathon is my favorite marathon," Khalid Choukoud said on the site of organization Le Champion. "That has to do with the organization and I ran my fastest times on Dutch soil in the last two years with 2.08 and 2.09."
In Paris last summer, Khalid Choukoud was unable to compete for the prizes. After more than 42 kilometers he clocked a time of 2:15; 37 and finished in 58th place.
In addition to Choukoud, Filmon Tesfu will also be behind the starting line in the Olympic Stadium on Sunday, October 20. The athlete from Den Helder recently became the first Dutchman to cross the finish line at the Dam tot Damloop. In Amsterdam, Tesfu will make his debut in the marathon.
On the other hand, Nienke Brinkman has canceled. The top athlete has not yet recovered sufficiently from her injury.
