You can also park your car in the Garenmarkt garage, near the start and finish, and the Lammermarkt garage, about 1 kilometer from the start.

Arriving by bike? Excellent. Temporary bike racks will be available on Saturday, May 9th, and Sunday, May 10th, especially for runners and visitors to the Leiden Marathon at Steenschuur—near registration and the start. The spaces with bike racks are labeled so you can easily find your bike. Please remove your bike in time, as the racks will be removed again on Sunday evening after the event.
You can also park your bike at the Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory during the marathon weekend.
