← Rotterdam Marathon
The 1/4 marathon starts at the same time as the full marathon, only at a different location and uses the last part of the marathon course. There were only three starting waves for the 1/4 marathon even though it had almost as many participants as the full marathon: 12.500!
All in all this could be a very nice race, the route is very nice, but it should just be organized differently. If the race could start earlier than the marathon, so there was less time pressure on the 1/4 marathon runners and more starting waves with more time in between. If the course would be less busy it could be a great race, because now you can’t actually race.
