🟩 The Veteran Farmer is proud to be participating in the 2026 Nijmegen 4 Day March this July 21st-24th! 👟👟

We’re excited to share our Week 1 update from Team TVFNM26 Nijmegen!

On the training front, the team had a fantastic first week! Although many members are training independently due to geography and scheduling, we were thrilled to see several teammates come together for the first challenge day — completing 7.5 km side by side. Building connection and camaraderie is one of the key goals of this journey, and it’s already happening!

Team morale remains high. Members are actively logging their progress in the Team StepUp App, allowing everyone to see the collective effort, dedication, and growth across the team. It’s incredibly motivating to witness the commitment building week by week.

Until next week — happy marching!
-Sean and TVF Administration

🌍 What is the Nijmegen 4 Day March?

Held since 1909, the Nijmegen March started as a military training exercise and has grown into a legendary international event. Every year, 40,000+ walkers from over 70 countries take on 30km, 40km, or 50km a day for four days straight, moving through beautiful towns, countryside, and historic routes.

🎉 What makes it special?

The atmosphere is unmatched—crowds cheering, music playing, flowers flying, and the unforgettable "Via Gladiola" finish. Complete the march and you earn the "Vierdaagsekruis" medal, a symbol of grit, perseverance, and team spirit.
This isn’t just walking.
This is endurance.
This is camaraderie.
This is Nijmegen.

Let the training begin! 🔥👣
