Kids Run

The Kids Run will take place on Saturday, October 18, 2025, during the weekend of the TCS Amsterdam Marathon. A unique opportunity for the youngest runners to take part in this iconic event and experience their own marathon adventure! This year, there are two distances available for children aged 4 to 13. This ensures that kids of various ages and skill levels can take on a challenge while enjoying the energetic atmosphere and a beautiful route around the Olympic Stadium area. Both distances will start in Start Area B on Stadionweg, and all children will finish in the Olympic Stadium in front of the grandstand. A truly unique experience!

Course

A fun course of 1,000 and 1,600 meters has been set up starting from Stadionweg. The 1,000-meter route takes a small loop via Olympiaweg and ends in the Olympic Stadium. The 1,600-meter course runs along Marathonweg, through Olympiakade, and back via Amstelveenseweg to the Olympic Stadium. A true marathon experience!
Parents can cheer on their kids from various points along the course. For children aged 4, 5, and 6 (the last starting group), parents are allowed to run with them. If you're older, your parents can accompany you to the starting area and pick you up after you finish.

Finish and medal

New this year, both distances—meaning all kids—finish in the Olympic Stadium. Here, everyone receives the well-deserved medal! The 1,000-meter race can be finished by 13:25 hours, and the 1,600-meter race by 13:50 hours.

Charity

In Amsterdam, 1 out of 5 kids grows up living below the poverty line with insufficient economic resources. This means that approximately 30.000 children in Amsterdam do not have access to the opportunities that their more fortunate peers may take for granted, for example, participating in organized sports. Jeugdfonds Sport Amsterdam pays the membership fees for a child from a low-income family directly to the sports association. Requests can be send to one of the 1100 intermediaries in Amsterdam.

This year Jeugdfonds Sport and Le Champion are teaming up in order to get more children involved in sports in Amsterdam. Our mission: get Amsterdam kids moving! We are already looking forward to see those happy faces and running children during the Mini Marathons.
