1. The Ultimate Team Challenge

   The Nijmegen Marches is a Team Challenge like no other, from start to finish and all the miles in-between, we will be starting, walking and finishing together. It is an incredible journey and a wonderful experience to share together, the laughs, the games and trying to out-sing the big military teams.

   You will make new and old Walk the Walk friends, supporting each other, marching and singing to our heart's content. We are required to dress as a team in our ‘uniform’ which of course, is our famous bra t-shirts with dark bottoms.

   Walk the Walk have entered a Walking Team into the Marches for over 8 years, and are famous for our t-shirts and are known as 'the bra team'... they've come to know and recognise us!

   Only once these have been released will Walk the Walk be able to confirm your place on this challenge.

   If you are male and born from 1974 to 2006, unfortunately, because of your age, you are unable to join our 40K Civilian Marching Team. If this applies to you, please email us for more information on your options to join the Marches.

   Minimum Numbers

   There is a minimum number requirement of 11 Walkers for us to take part as a Civilian Marching Team. 

   Team Challenge Commitment

   Conquering the Nijmegen Marches is not for the faint-hearted and will require a huge commitment, both to training and walking as part of a Team at the event itself. It is really important to understand that we start as a Team, walk as a Team, and finish as a Team! This is a Team challenge and this is stated in the Rules and Regulations of the Nijmegen Marches, of which they are very strict!

   The Team as a whole will be 'checked in' at the Start Line, and at intervals throughout the Marches - planned and unplanned points - and at the Finish Line! The Team must walk together throughout. 

   Training is essential to complete The Nijmegen Marches and by signing up to our Walk the Walk team you are not just committing to taking part and raising money, but to the training, and to meeting our Team finishing time of 8 hours for 40km every day.

   Other Rules & Regulations to be noted:

   • All the Team must wear the same outfit throughout the 4Day Marches, bra t-shirts of course, with dark bottoms 
   • Females must be aged 18+
   • Males must be aged 50+, born before 1974
   • As stated the Team must start, walk and finish together.
