This year I won't be there at the start or the finish line. But remember... One thing never changes in Rotterdam... you never stand alone.
Whatever your reason for running may be. For the first time or for the tenth. For your family, for charity, or for someone who's no longer here. For that one dream you've carried with you for so long.
Many have run this road before you. In a city built on strength, on character. Here, we don't give up easily. The Erasmusbrug. The Coolsingel. The crowd in Rotterdam. This city will carry you. Here, we honour the champions and the fighters. Resilience is stronger than pain and pride greater than fatigue.
Rotterdam, you know what to do. You'll never walk alone
