I am wanting to possibly participate in the Nijmegen next year. I already have somewhat of a training plan that I will be starting here very soon. If you have participated in the Nijmegen, did you do it as part of a unit team or individually? I would like to see about getting a team together from my unit. Anyone information concerning the Nijmegen would be helpful.

I just did it last year. We are planning in doing it again this up coming year. We did it s a civilian team because we missed the registration for the military teams. It was a lot of fun. We had to do the 4 x 50 km because of being a civilian team but the military teams do 4 x 40 km.

I did it in 1989 (I think that was the year) with a team. It was a pretty fun experience. Lots of folks drop out without completing the full 4 days, though none of my team did. You aren't timed like a road march or anything, so the distances are not that hard if you can road march. Just prepare like any other road march. Comfortable footwear including socks is a must, like any march. Energy bars/gels would probably be something you'd find useful. Just have fun and go for it. 200k in 4 days isn't really all that hard when you aren't heavily laden and doing it for time.

Yep, that was us over 40 years ago. Fantastic international experience meeting so many troops from so many other countries. SGT Richard H.
