Dates and distances

The fifth edition, our 1st lustrum, is from 31 May to 2 June. MWV takes place annually during the weekend of week 22. Or
  • In 2025 Friday 30, Saturday 31 May and Sunsday 1 June
  • in 2026 Friday 5 June, Saturday 6 June and Sunday 7 June
  • In 2027 Friday 4 June, Saturday 5 June and Sundagy 6 June.

Participants are free to decide how many days they want to walk and which distance on each of these days. That might be different each day. They can vary their combination each day or pick one of the (other) standard distances. Walkers have complete freedom of choice.

This flexibility makes the MWV the ideal practice event for the four-day marches in Apeldoorn or Nijmegen, or for one of the many Kennedy marches. But the MWV is also attractive to everyone who just wants to walk 10 or 20 kilometres at a leisurely pace. The MWV is for everyone who loves walking, for people of all ages, and for beginners as well as advanced and experienced walkers.

On Sunday 2 June, the program includes an additional walking tour of 5 kilometers. This distance is particularly suitable for families with children.
