Nijmegen Vierdaagse: Endurance in Motion | Amsterdam News

Tens of thousands took to the streets for the 108th Nijmegen Vierdaagse, with walkers tackling 30, 40, or 50 km daily—Blue Tuesday kicked off through the Betuwe, towns decked in blue. Over 47,000 signed up, with nearly 40% opting for the popular 40-km route; average age dipped to 46.8. Red Cross volunteers, celebrating 80 years of support, treat blisters, bites, and heat—reminding everyone to hydrate, wear hats, and use sunscreen. Water shortages haven’t derailed plans, though a pontoon bridge near Cuijk was rerouted due to drought. It’s endurance meets community, year after year.
