The first NN Marathon The Hague was being held in The Hague and Westland, with about 21,000 participants taking part in different distances. Around 9,500 of them were running the full marathon of 42.195 kilometres. The routes began at the Malieveld, passed through the city, along the coast and through the Westland, and ended in The Hague. The event caused traffic congestion and road closures.

The marathon was still underway, with finishes being shown live from the Malieveld in The Hague.
