Nederland, Nijmegen, 15-7-2014Op de Wedren starten om 4 uur de eerste lopers van de 4 daagse. Via de Waalbrug en Lent (foto) ging het naar de Betuwe en via de Oosterhoutsedijk weer terug. Het was goed wandelweer, dus dit stuk dijk hoefde haar rampzalige reputatie uit 2006 niet waar te maken.The International Four Day Marches Nijmegen, or Vierdaagse, is the largest marching event in the world. It is organised every year in Nijmegen in mid-July as a means of promoting sport and exercise. Participants walk 30, 40 or 50 kilometers daily, and, on completion, receive a royally approved medal, Vierdaagsekruis. The participants are mostly civilians, but there are also a few thousand military participants. The vierdaagse, Dutch for Four day Event, is an annual walk that has taken place since 1909, being based at Nijmegen since 1916.Foto: Flip Franssen/Hollandse Hoogte
