The 4Days Marches is a walking achievement event that requires participants to adequately train and prepare. In exceptional cases, individuals with intellectual and/or physical disabilities can apply for dispensation under the 4Daagse dispensation policy. The Guide to Applying for Medical Dispensation for Participation in the 4Days Marches provides detailed information on this process.
Participants who rely on a wheelchair due to chronic functional loss of their lower limbs can apply for dispensation to be eligible for the 4Days Marches Cross. This dispensation is granted only under specific conditions, one of which is that the participant must use a classic, non-motorized hoop wheelchair (ADL) during the event. A written request for dispensation (via email or post) can be submitted after your registration for the 4Days Marches is accepted. The Guide to Applying for Medical Dispensation for Participation in the 4Days Marches provides detailed information on this process.
Parents or supervisors of children aged 12, 13, 14, or 15 this year are allowed to accompany their child on a non-regulatory distance. One supervisor can be added to the paid registration of the child. Supervisors can be added to a child’s registration (born between 2011 & 2014) via My Dashboard.The youth will receive notification about this. This is possible until until July 15 17.00 hrs CET. The conditions for a supervisor are outlined in the Regulations for Companions.
The cost for adding a walking companion is €48, payable immediately via iDEAL or credit card. A walking companion receives a goodie bag during the registration days and a digital certificate upon completing the 4Days Marches. Also during the registration days, it is still possible to add an accompanying walker. The cost will then be €64.50. Note: participation as a companion does not count as official participation, and you will not receive a reward.
