The marathon here in Rotterdam might be over for this year but here is an excuse to relive that feeling of accomplishment when you received your official finishing time by comparing it with some famous fit females! If you haven't managed to complete a marathon yet haven't, there are other dates on the runners calendar that you can work towards this year! In the meantime, you can use this calculator here to estimate your finishing time.

Maybe a marathon was never in your sights on your fitness journey but running events take place all year round.
