Can a car pick me up after the Amsterdam Marathon, with sore legs and a medal?
Yes: book a pickup at the Kiss & Ride on the Jachthavenweg, which the organizer names for dropping off and collecting runners, a few minutes’ walk from the Olympic Stadium finish. The marathon finish closes at 17:00 on Sunday, October 18, 2026, and the streets around the stadium stay closed until about 19:00, so the car waits outside that area. To central Amsterdam, about 7 km, it is a fixed €50 in Business Class.

Related questions
When should I book the pickup for?
Take your target finish time and add time for the medal, the clothing tent and a slow walk to the Jachthavenweg. If the race goes differently, message dispatch and the pickup moves with you.
Can my family ride along?
Yes. A Van Class car seats up to 7 people, runners and supporters together, for one fixed price per car.
What if I finish much later than planned?
Message the chauffeur or dispatch as soon as you know. After the free 15 minutes, waiting is charged per minute at the hourly rate, €65 an hour in Business Class, so move the pickup as early as you can.
Can you take me straight from the finish to Schiphol?
Yes. The Olympic Stadium is inside Amsterdam, so it is the fixed airport price: €80 in Business Class.
