The Hague Marathon
The Hague Marathon is a flat marathon in The Hague, Netherlands, held each October or November. A single loop on asphalt from the Malieveld out through Westland, back via Kijkduin and the dunes to Scheveningen. The organiser reports limited elevation gain and one slight climb near 36 km. Cool and breezy on the North Sea coast in early November, typically 5 to 11°C, with a real chance of rain and wind. On a course as flat as The Hague Marathon, even splits are everything; the classic mistake is banking time in the first third.
