Why is the Eindhoven Marathon considered a fast race?
Eindhoven's course is notably flat, and the race is held in October when cool conditions can support fast road racing. Kenyan runner Kenneth Kipkemoi recorded a course best of about 2:04:52 in 2023.

The event is normally held in October, often on the second Sunday of the month. It forms part of the ASML Marathon Eindhoven weekend, which includes several shorter distances.
Has the Eindhoven Marathon always been an annual event?
No. An early edition was held in 1959, and the modern race returned as a biennial event in the 1980s. It has generally been staged annually since 1990, apart from exceptional cancellations such as 2020.
What part of Eindhoven creates the race's best-known finish atmosphere?
Recent editions have used a city-center finish on Vestdijk, where dense crowds create a loud final stretch. Exact start, finish, and loop arrangements can change, so runners should check the current ASML course map.
