DUTCH REGULATION
MARCH DISTANCE
TIMELINES
In the past, some U.S. Teams have had difficulty managing start and finish times.
All individuals and Teams MUST start in their designated time slots.
Do not forget to scan in each day before starting as required.
Individuals are scheduled to start at 0430 on day 1,2,3 and at 0330 on day 4.
Teams are scheduled on a rotating basis with a different start time each day between 0435 and 0630, days 1 through 3, and an hour earlier on day 4.
Finish times are firmly established as 1700 each day unless otherwise notified due to weather considerations. Individuals or team marchers not scanned at the finish by 1700 will be administratively eliminated by the 4Daagse administration from the march without exception.
If a team has a marcher encountering difficulties the team leader should decide what is best for the team. Waiting for an injured marcher in medical care may be honorable, but also may result in eliminating the team if you don't get back to the scan line by 1700.
WEIGHT
U.S. Military marchers participating from Camp Heumensoord have specific ruck weight requirements.
Sand for fill and weigh scales are generally available on camp for the purpose of preparation and control. During the march, inspectors along the route routinely weigh the marcher's ruck to determine whether weight requirements are being met.
Rucks worn must meet U.S. military uniform standards. If it isn't authorized, you can't use it during the march.
WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS
Males 49 Years old and younger -- 10kg
Males who turn 50 any time during the event or are older -- No weight requirement
Females of all ages -- No weight requirement
