Tram, utrecht science park, regenboogfietspad

Earlier, the province of Utrecht announced that from 2025, tram services will be increased on weekends. This long-awaited improvement has now become a reality. The tram will regularly operate on the days of FC Utrecht’s Eredivisie matches and during open days at HU Unviersity of Applied Sciences Utrecht and Utrecht University. Additionally, trams will run during the Utrecht Marathon on Sunday, 18th May.

HiPRO Utrecht Marathon supported by Utrecht Science Park

On Sunday, 18th May 2025, the 41st edition of the Utrecht Marathon will take place, traditionally starting and finishing at the Utrecht Science Park. The marathon continues to grow, and given the large number of participants expected to travel to the Utrecht Science Park, the extra tram services on this day will be a very welcome addition.

The event is steadily growing, and with the anticipated high number of participants coming to the Utrecht Science Park, it is a significant improvement that trams will be operating on this day. On 18th May, it is recommended to travel to the Utrecht Science Park by bike or public transport due to limited parking options and to avoid congestion on the roads.
