The Third Rotary Marathon:

Amsterdam 21^st October 2007

 

After Paris 2005 and Berlin 2006, Rotary Marathon runners from around the world are planning to meet on Sunday 21^st October 2007 to run the Amsterdam Marathon.

Christophe Cruzel, President of the International Marathon Fellowship of Rotarians (IMFR), has entrusted the task of the local arrangements to a team of Dutch Rotarians led by  Willem Barent Wijsmuller (RC Baarn-Soest, D1570).

 The IMFR has three objectives: 

                                                                                                             Berlin runners 2006

• To organize an annual gathering of Rotarians from all over the world to run a marathon together in a major city.
• MarathonTo consolidate the bonds of friendship in the framework of the International      Fellowship of Rotarians.
• To run for the benefit of a cause chosen by the Rotarians from the      host country.

 There is little doubt that the appeal of the wonderful city of Amsterdam, the welcome our Dutch friends are preparing, the pleasure of being among friends, as well as the idea of tackling a new sporting challenge are good reasons to join us on Sunday 21^st October. Sponsors, family and supporters are of course also welcome.

 You can become a member of the IMFR via the web site: www.marathon-rotary.org.

From there you will find a link to the official Ing-Amsterdam Marathon 2007 site. Amsterdam Marathon registration procedures and information about accommodation can be obtained from Willem Barent Wijsmuller (wbwijsmuller@xs4all.nl, tel : 0653183948, fax : 020 4923893).

 We look forward to seeing you in Amsterdam
