Will you participate in The Alternative Four Days Marches? Over the past two years, this has been the successful (and corona-proof) alternative to the Four Days Marches in Nijmegen with more than 20,000 participants. KWbN now also offers you the opportunity to walk your own Four Days Marches. From 19 - 22 July you will walk self-chosen route from 5 to 50 kilometers a day with the Wandel.nl-app and earn that medal.
On Sunday 17 July, the De 4DAAGSE Foundation announced that in connection with the expected heat The first walking day of the 4Daagse Nijmegen on Tuesday 19 July will be cancelled. In connection with the announced heat plan on Tuesday, we advise participants in De Alternative Four Days to also heed the warnings. That is why we are extending The Alternative Four Days Marches by one day. So you can participate from Wednesday 20 July to Saturday 23 July. But participation of three days is also considered a full participation in The Alternative Four Days Marches this year and will result in a medal. Safety and health comes first.
If you nevertheless decide to run on Tuesday 19 July, stick to the warnings in the heat plan. Only do this if you have registered a short distance and walk very early in the morning. Take care of yourself, drink enough and protect yourself from the sun.
We wish you a pleasant, successful and safe Alternative Four Days Marches!
