NN Marathon The Hague set for inaugural event on November 1

The inaugural NN Marathon The Hague is scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 1. The event is a collaboration between Golazo and the municipalities of The Hague and Westland, with Nationale-Nederlanden serving as the title sponsor.

Approximately 9,500 participants are expected for the marathon, with over 20,000 total participants across various running distances throughout the weekend. The course starts and finishes at the Malieveld, featuring a unique 15-kilometer stretch through the Westland region, passing through villages and greenhouse areas before heading toward the coast at Kijkduin and Scheveningen.

Weather forecasts suggest favorable conditions for runners, with temperatures expected to be around 10 degrees Celsius at the 10:00 start time and reaching a maximum of 13 degrees Celsius. The course is relatively flat and paved with asphalt, though runners may face coastal winds and a slight incline near the Kurhaus around the 36-kilometer mark.
