In 2004, Robert K. Cheruiyot ran a season’s best (world) time in Rotterdam (1.00.11). During the second edition of the Half Marathon Rotterdam in 2005 Rotterdam, running capital of Holland, proved again that it’s course is very fast. The Kenian Talent Samuel Wanjiru, only 18 years old, ran a fabulous race. He broke the World Record of Paul Tergat (1998) with 1 second. He finished in 00.59.16 (WR), 29 seconds before Patrick Ivuti, who also ran within the hour (00.59.47).

In 2007, Evans Kiprop Cheruiyot won the fourth Halve Marathon Rotterdam in a course record of 59:12. This time was 4 seconds faster than the former course record, run in 2006. With this result, the four editions of this international race all broke records.
