De Marathon is a 2012 Dutch comedy drama film directed by Diederick Koopal.

Later Youssoef tells his colleagues that he used to be a marathon runner, and made a decent living off off it from sponsorships, before he got his foot injured.

Gerard makes a deal: if he, Kees, Nico and Leo all finish the marathon, they get € 40,000, enough to pay their debts.

Each of them has difficulty adapting to the new lifestyle without beer, smoking and pastries, as well as their dealing with their own personal problems.

This is the first time that any of his friends learn that he had cancer, eventually deciding to sneak his dead body out of the hospital and push him over the finish line in a wheelchair.
