What if my reward in My Four Days Marches does not correspond with my number of successful participations?

At My Four Days Marches you can find the last reward awarded to you as registered by us. If this does not correspond with the last reward you received, you can contact the Central Administration in writing stating ‘previous participation'. We will take your request under review, although these requests will not be answered during the Four Days week. Requests submitted before 1 April can be processed in time for the coming Four Days Marches.

I am planning to participate in the Four Days Marches again, after a break of several years. Am I still in your database?

If you have ever successfully completed the Four Days Marches, and it cannot be found in our digital database, then we should be able to find you in our archives. Our filing clerk is eager to find out what reward you received when you last successfully completed the marches, ensuring you will receive the correct reward for your next participation. You can contact the Central Administration in writing stating ‘previous participation'. We will then send you some questions that will enable us to conduct a search in our archives.
When you are - in your opinion, unjustly - registered for reward 1 and there is a chance that you will therefore be in a possible draw, you can contact the Central Administration for archive research. If your request has been received by us before 1 April, we can make sure that it will be under consideration in time, i.e. before the draw.
