Nijmegen (The Netherlands), July 18th 2007

The 91st “Nijmeegse Vierdaagse” started without problems on Tuesday July 17th. Eight soldiers of Headquarters Eurocorps participate in this traditional four days march together with another 38.171 walkers. Each day they walk 40 kilometers, leaving twice early in the morning and twice later in the day. Their backpack has to have a total weight of minimum 10 Kg. The marchers pay their respects to those who fought and died to defend freedom and to ensure our way of life. The weather is fine: not to hot, dry and some wind.
