Amsterdam is known as one of Europe’s most stunning cities, and the Amsterdam Marathon Weekend allows runners to take in all of the major sights in a fantastic world-class event.

The Amsterdam course is famously flat and fast and leads through the historic heart of the city. Highlights of the marathon course are the start/finish in the Olympic Stadium, the passage under the Rijksmuseum, and the picturesque views of Vondelpark and Amstelpark.

SANE is a leading national mental health charity set up in 1986 by its Chief Executive, Marjorie Wallace CBE, following her pioneering articles, The Forgotten Illness, in The Times. These exposed the way in which society neglected individuals and families affected by mental illness and the lack of information, treatments and strategies for prevention.

Donations to SANE will aid us as we aim to:

· raise awareness and understanding of all mental health conditions

· fight to improve frontline mental health services for individuals and carers

· provide support, information and guidance through our helpline, SANEline, as well as through our Call Back and written services.

· promote and host research into causes, treatments and therapies at the Prince of Wales International Centre for SANE Research in Oxford.
