Runner’s World lists the Amsterdam Marathon as among the world’s top 10 marathons.

According to Runner’s World:

“This is the Netherlands, so the course is flat and therefore fast. The only bump you’ll see is when the course crosses one of the many canals. It’s a two-loop course, starting and finishing in the 1928 Olympic Stadium.”
