Nijmegen is famous for the
International Four Day March Nijmegen (
Dutch:
Internationale Vierdaagse Afstandsmarsen Nijmegen, informally
Nijmeegse Vierdaagse), an annual event starting on the third Tuesday in July, comprising four days of
walking (distances ranging from 30 to 50 km a day), and the accompanying festivities (the
Vierdaagsefeesten including rock festival
de-Affaire), which have been drawing the largest crowds for any Dutch event in the past few years.
The event invites WWII allied veterans to help celebrate their participation in the liberation of the Netherlands from German occupation. Participants from Britain, Canada, the USA, Australia and New Zealand have attended the event. Nowadays, the event is international, inviting teams from all countries to attention.
During the
Vierdaagse of 2006 two people died due to the extreme hot weather (note that the deceased had other health issues that added up to the death cause). It caused the organisation to cancel the rest of the walk. This resulted in extra safety measures during the 2007
Vierdaagse; for instance, a professional weatherman was added to the organisation staff, more free water refill stations were added along the route and an extensive research program was developed to monitor the effects of hiking long distances on the human body.
