How to get there
During the Enschede Marathon the city is less accessible than usual. Please keep in mind that you need more time to get from A to B and that there are routes you need to follow. The maps on this page will help you take the right route to be in the starting area on time.

Attention: line up right!
Make sure you are properly lined up for the start of the 5 km. Always follow the instructions of the Enschede Marathon volunteers and read the texts on the text cart. Before the 5 km run the marathon and half marathon will start. By following the instructions, you will not accidentally start between the marathon and half marathon runners.

Time registration
The time registration of all distances takes place by means of a chip, which is attached to the back of the bib number. Please note: always wear your start number on your chest, not on your back!
