The TCS Amsterdam Marathon is set to take place over the weekend of October 17 and 18, 2026, causing significant traffic disruptions and road closures throughout Amsterdam. On Sunday, October 18, the main marathon event will lead to widespread street closures across the city, including areas near the Stadionweg, Amstelveenseweg, and Stadhouderskade, with restrictions beginning as early as 6:00 AM. Additionally, Saturday, October 17, will host preliminary races, such as the Kids Run, resulting in temporary closures in the vicinity of the Olympic Stadium. Residents and visitors are advised to avoid driving, as parking at the Olympic Stadium will be prohibited and construction on the Ring A10 Zuid will further complicate travel. The event organizers encourage the use of bicycles or public transport, though commuters should note that buses, trams, and certain metro stations will operate on adjusted schedules. Specific transit advice includes utilizing station Amsterdam Zuid instead of the closed Amstelveenseweg metro stop and checking train schedules if traveling from Haarlem due to planned rail maintenance.
