Walk the Four Days Marches at Nijmegen
A friend has invited you to do this with them.
For four consecutive days, walkers cover 30, 40 or 50km a day in and around the Dutch city of Nijmegen, and those who finish receive the 4Days Marches Cross. The event is organised by the foundation Stichting DE 4DAAGSE and has categories for civilians and civilian groups alongside military individuals and detachments.

Where to go
We opened this link on 8 October 2026 and found it to be what we say. Dates, places and prices are on the official page, where they stay up to date.
Plan this
Pick a day, or a month, and we will set out how to get ready, step by step, with a date and a reason for each. Events have fixed dates and entry or ticket deadlines. Physical events add a training plan from our guidance engine, and its length is set by the engine, not by the date you would like.
