Great athletic achievements at the Groningen Marathon!

Last Sunday, the first edition of the Groningen Marathon took place, with more than 12,000 participants at the starting line. Fourteen colleagues from De Zwarte Hond also took part. Despite the warm conditions, everyone reached the finish line, and some even achieved a personal best. An accomplishment to be proud of.

Participants could choose from several distances: the 10-kilometer race, the half marathon, and the full marathon (42.2 km). Together, our colleagues completed their races in a combined time of 22 hours and 43 minutes—an impressive collective effort.

It was a memorable day with a fantastic atmosphere along the course. The muscle soreness is a small price to pay. We are already looking forward to the next edition in 2027!
