TCS Amsterdam Marathon
On Sunday, October 15, 2023, the 47th edition of the TCS Amsterdam Marathon will take place. This international marathon is known for its flat and attractive course with many highlights through our capital. In addition to the classic distance, the program includes the Mizuno Half Marathon and TCS 8 km. All parts finish in the historic Olympic Stadium. Run against cancer and for life during the TCS Amsterdam Marathon!
Who do you run for?
1 in 3 Dutch people get cancer. Whether you have it yourself. Or someone you care about. Cancer unbalances your life.
Turn despair into power.
These participants ran against cancer in 2022 or take action this year in the TCS Amsterdam Marathon. All with their own stories. Who are you running for?
"I decided to join Run Against Cancer when my mother's cancer suddenly returned after more than 10 years. In 2021 it turned out there was a tumor on her vertebra: a metastasis of the breast cancer from 2007. Unfortunately, the Utrecht marathon, in which I was supposed to run, was postponed. In return for my sponsors, I still ran the half marathon in March 2022. Not aware that I was actually already sick myself..."

"There are six majors in the marathon world: Boston, New York, Chicago, Berlin, London and Tokyo. My father, Stefan, ran the first four. Unfortunately, the last two never happened. It is my goal to run these majors for him before I reach the age of 30. To start my journey, I am running my first marathon in my hometown Amsterdam"

What do we run for?
More patients to benefit from new treatments
Participants in the TCS Amsterdam Marathon contribute to research at the Amsterdam UMC Cancer Center Amsterdam. A lot of cancer research takes place at this renowned institute. The centre wants as many patients as possible to benefit from their innovative treatments. Not only in academic hospitals, but also in regional hospitals. Therefore, they set up a large-scale research network. This way, more patients get earlier access to the latest treatments.
