OVER 100 YEARS OF TRADITION

From 10 to over 45,000 participants, from a few to hundreds of volunteers, from just one to more than 70 nationalities, from one or two incidental spectators to packed grandstands, and from one band to the entire Vierdaagsefeesten. Over a little more than 110 years, a military training march has grown into the world’s largest walking event.
