Rotterdam

Rotterdam is dead flat and canal-heavy, making it ideal for cyclists and runners who prefer speed over elevation. The Harbour Tour, a 140km circuit, showcases the city's industrial waterfront and port infrastructure, while the Run Bike Marathon attracts riders tackling the 42km distance through the Rijnmond region. Local runners loop the Maas riverbanks and Euromast Park; serious cyclists head south towards the polders and Flanders within 30km for longer rides through Belgium.
