As the sun rose over the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam, over 48,000 runners from every corner of the globe came together to transform the city into a vibrant celebration of endurance and community. Through the iconic landmarks, canals, and windmills, each, the participant ran their masterpiece, embracing the challenge with determination and passion. As tears filled the air, friends and families gathered to support their loved ones, creating an electric atmosphere that fuelled every stride. The course record for the fastest female runner was shattered when Yalanzef Yehawalan crossed the line, inspiring all of us with her incredible performances, while Sergei Getichu returned his 2022 title to win this year's TCS Amsterdam Marathon. To everyone who ran, volunteered and cheered, thank you for being part of this extraordinary day together. We didn't just cross a finish line, we discovered the spirit of Amsterdam and we can't wait to see you all again next year. As we close this chapter and look to 2025, keep chasing your dreams one step at a time.
