Injured?

We advise all participants to check in advance that they are adequately insured, through their health insurance or additional travel insurance, to cover the costs of medical assistance when this should be required during the marches.

You are seriously warned against undergoing foot care, massage and suchlike from third parties. If you have any health complaints, please always consult the Medical Service of Stichting DE 4DAAGSE.

Dutch Red Cross

The BlarenPoli (Blister Treatment Unit) and First Aid is located on start and finish area the Wedren, and is open from 11.00 a.m. to 07.00 p.m. on all the walking days. Treatment of blisters is also provided for at all main resting areas along the routes.
At the start First Aid post of the Dutch Red Cross (NRK) is also opened for emergencies. During these hours no blisters will be treated.

Medical aid

Medical aid will be available for all walkers at the resting areas along the routes. The organisation may oblige a participant to undergo medical examination in order to determine whether it is safe for the participant to continue the march. The decision of a doctor who, on behalf of the director of the Medical Services, forbids the walker to continue the marches will be binding.
Any time spent on medical care will be part of the time available for the distance to be walked. Consequently, just like waiting time, this time will not be compensated.
