What time can I start?

Start and finish area

All individual participants and civilian groups start from the Wedren/Julianaplein and will report to the finish there at the end of each marching day. Participants must report to their own registration desk to sign off.

Military contingents and individual military participants starting from Heumensoord also sign off at Heumensoord. The only exception to this is the finish on Friday, as this will take place at start/finish-location de Wedren.  

Starting and signing-off times

* On Friday this will be 03.30 – 05.30 hrs
** On Friday until 18.00 hrs

The 40km walkers will start in two separate groups. The start slot depends on your walking number.

When 40,000 participants have to start within in a timeframe of a couple hours it is not unlikely that participants will hinder each other. So, just like travelling with public transport or when in the supermarket, we would like to ask you to show some consideration for each other, and that you do not cut in line and that you wait your turn. Kindly address each other regarding inappropriate behaviour and try to arrange matters justly.

Participant registration

All participants (including group participants and those in military contingents) will be given a personalised bar code wristband upon registration. This bar code wristband is used to register participants electronically at the start and finish en route every day. Each participant (including group participants and those in military contingents) must have his or her bar code scanned at the registration desk at the end of each day.
