Vierdaagse Walks Amid Fireworks Fiasco | Amsterdam News

The world’s largest walking event, the Vierdaagse, is in full swing in Nijmegen, drawing over 45,000 walkers from 70+ countries for four grueling days of 30-50km daily treks. Mild weather helps, but a last-minute technical glitch—hydraulic failure and oil leak—forced cancellation of the highly anticipated Sunday fireworks show, “Waal in Vlammen,” moved from Tuesday to give more people a chance to see it. Organizers are weighing a reschedule, safety first. Walkers span ages 11 to 90+, all chasing that coveted 4Daagse cross, with hundreds of Red Cross volunteers on standby to treat blisters and foot issues—last year alone, they helped 3,000+. Light rain possible Wednesday and Thursday, so pack a jacket if heading out early. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
