The Four Days Marches would have started today, but unfortunately will not take place this year. Fortunately, there are other options to meet your walking needs, such as an Alternative Four Days Marches.
This is how you walk the Alternative Four Days Marches
Hiking enthusiasts are forced to skip the Four Days Marches this year due to the corona virus. Fortunately, they do not have to sit still. An Alternative Four Days Marches will be organized in this Four Days Marches.
This is specially organized by the Koninklijke Wandelbond Nederland (KWBN). You can choose to run the official Four Days Marches distance, so 30, 40 or 50 kilometers per day, or a shortened route of 10 and 20 kilometers. Everyone can participate for free.
To ensure that not everyone walks on the same route, walkers can create their own route in the Wandel.nl app. Hikers can therefore walk the Four Days Marches throughout the country. In the app you can create your own new Alternative Four Days Marches route every day. The kilometers walked are registered in the app. If you complete the distance on all four days, you will receive a souvenir from the KWBN.
