Why you should take part in the 4Days Marches at least once in your life
The world’s largest walking achievement event: you want to have walked that at least once, right? We asked our participants why they think everyone should, at some point in their life, participate in the 4Days Marches. These were the most frequently given answers.
4DAYS MARCHES FEELING
"It’s a feeling you can’t explain; you simply have to experience it!"
BUCKETLIST
"Because it (the 4Days Marches) should be on every Dutch person’s bucket list."
THE EXPERIENCE
"For the unique experience. You won’t get that anywhere else!"
NIJMEGEN
"Because you are a proud resident of Nijmegen."
IT'S HELPFUL
"Because you get priority registration the following year."
THE FUN
"So that you discover that taking part is more fun than you’d think!"
YOU DON’T HAVE TO
"It’s something you don’t really have to do, but it gives you a sense of satisfaction if you do."
MEETING PEOPLE
"For all the pleasant encounters with fellow walkers along the way."
THE ATMOSPHERE
"Because of the enjoyment along the way that makes you forget just how many kilometres you’re walking."
THE CHALLENGE
"To push your own limits. Once you have completed the 4Days Marches, you really understand what an achievement that is."
FOR SOMEONE ELSE
"To do it for others who can’t participate themselves."
VIA GLADIOLA
"For the feeling that overwhelms you when you walk triumphantly down Via Gladiola on Friday."
