レースについて
The Mollen Marathon is a small, low-frills marathon in Almere Buiten, offering shorter distances alongside the full 42.2 km. Entry numbers are limited, and walkers are welcome, giving it the feel of a club outing rather than a large city race. The setup is self-sufficient: participants pay a small fee, register by email, and bring their own supplies as there are no changing rooms, showers, toilets, or refreshments.
The route begins with an approach section, then consists of seven laps, a format that is easy to follow and manage. The marathon time limit is eight hours with some flexibility, suitable for steady walkers and runners. Afterward, organizers compile results, and participants can receive a certificate; trim and walking booklets can be stamped. A distinctive Mollen Marathon medal is available for purchase, aligning with the minimalist style: pay for the run, then decide if you want the keepsake.
