Nijmegen Vierdaagse | From A Marcher's Eye | Four Days Marches 

I was there in the mid-90s, twice as a Danish soldier, great experience, it was like in the video a huge party - going back to Nijmegen this summer with my wife, and I'm really looking forward to experiencing the city again.

2017 was my last year (so far). Have completed 12 Nijmegen marches with the military, and your video gives a very good impression on how the experience is. Hard, but also in so many ways rewarding and fun. And kudos to the canadians! They have always been well trained for the 4daagse, and always bringen a very positive attitude to the event. It seems like you know the secret to marching, if you have fun doing it, it does not hurt so much :)

Really enjoyed this walking video, thanks Canada liberating the Netherlands and remembering this while joining the Nijmeegse 4-daagse. greetz from Indonesia, from this Dutch guy!

I was at the 101st Nijmegen, too!! Day three is definitely the hardest with all of those hills!! Can’t wait to go back for another one!!

Indeed a very good presentation of the "package". I also was there in the 2017 Norwegian contingent, completed with the standard souverniers - medal and 18 blisters. Now we are planning the 2019 event.

The war memorial made me tear up. Great that you all went there to pay hommage 👍❤️🌷🌷

At 7:13 is that a Canadian trooper running around with a Bundestag flag? If so, awesome, if not, still awesome. I'm 6 years overdue but awesome job.

Was there in 1987, still remember the super atmosphere in the large beer tent at camp Heumensoord.

There's probably no nationality more popular in the Netherlands than Canadians. They liberated most of the country. Not Nijmegen though, that was part of the Market Garden Plan. If you've heard of A Bridge Too Far, this was the bridge before that. The one they didn't get is in Arnhem to the North. So British paratroopers and American ground troops here. Americans crossed the river with small boats and captured the bridges (one railway and one car bridge) from the other side.

thank you Canada

Are all four days of marching in the same city but just different routes?

Well done guys, great video. I did 2 years in a row back in 1988, amazing experience also you get the medal with the crown for your 2nd year 😊

Ja!...Gotta look out for those Dutch hills!

It always feels like the canadians are marsching 7.5KM/H

Completed #13 in 2023.. 🚶‍♂️

I never walked, but I have been part of the party many a times! It's such a great event. Great atmosphere . Getting to greet visiting servicemen, tourist participants, it's all great

in 2 weeks its nijmegen again and i will be at the first resting point for the german army in the medic tent, best part of german medic tents we got AC xD

What music is this from around 6 minutes onwards?

Job well done! Nice to have you all as guests in my area!!

Great video !

Hi Phil!! Great Video I am PO2 Brunelle from the Donnacona team in montreal. We are doing a video from the trip as well and i was wondering lf you would mind if i use some of your footage for our video. I would use the more generic stuff. Like Ceremonie at the beginning and footage during the march! Its great footage and of very good quality. Thank you for letting me know Marc-Andre Brunelle

What was going on with your foot?

1995 aged 16 i completed this with not one drop out we got team medal. Proud, we lost someone that year a 18 year old UK Air Cadet 0n day 4. Seen 2 ppl fall from flag tagging and break their backs. Want to do it again.

Nice video bro!

Yay Rich !! , keeping those feet working :D
