Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Wednesday announced the extension of its partnership with the Amsterdam Marathon by five years.
The leading IT services, consulting and business solutions organisation today signed an agreement in the presence of the Vice-Mayor of the city of Amsterdam, Eric van der Burg, renewing its title sponsorship of the marathon until 2020, a media release said today. The next TCS Amsterdam Marathon, the 40th edition, is scheduled to be run on October 18.
Since TCS first began its support of the marathon in 2011, the event has grown to become one of the largest and most popular marathons in Europe, hosting over 42,500 runners from over 80 countries last year.
The race has now received the IAAF Gold Label for road races, the highest accreditation in this field, the release added.
