Two Rivers Marathon is one of the most distinctive early-season marathons in the Netherlands, bringing runners to the dikes and open landscapes of the Bommelerwaard for a race shaped by wind, water, and atmosphere. Starting and finishing in the historic town of Zaltbommel, the course follows a scenic loop between the Maas and Waal rivers, with long stretches of quiet road, wide views, and a raw, honest marathon feel that many runners come back for year after year.
Originally created as a training marathon for athletes preparing for the Two Oceans and Comrades Marathons, the event has grown into a well-loved race in its own right and remains an official qualifier for both. Runners can take on the full marathon individually or choose the Duo Marathon, where two participants split the distance.
What makes Two Rivers special is not only the course, but also the character of the event. It is known for its friendly scale, personal organization, enthusiastic volunteers, and relaxed community spirit. From live support on the route to the legendary post-race beer and braai, this is a marathon that combines serious running with genuine warmth. For those looking for a flat course, memorable river scenery, and a race with personality, Two Rivers Marathon offers an experience that feels both challenging and deeply enjoyable.
