The International Four Day Marches Nijmegen (or Vierdaagse – meaning Four Days) is the largest marching event in the world, held in Nijmegen (Netherlands) every year since 1916.
Join civilians and military teams from all over the world
Every year in July over 45,000 civilians and military teams march 30km, 40km or 50 km through the beautiful and historic towns and villages surrounding Nijmegen. Over 4 days and 4 different routes you will be supported by over 1 million people lining the streets to encourage and support you.
On completion you receive the Dutch royalty approved medal (Vierdaagsekruis)
Also known as ‘The Walk of the World’!
You can choose to complete either the 30, 40km or 50km route (restrictions may require you to complete a certain distance to receive your medal.)
