Episode Details

The Nijmegen Vierdaagse is nearing its epic finale as walkers tackle the hottest day yet, crossing the Maas River on a military-built pontoon bridge before the final stretch to claim their Vierdaagse Cross. With 42,450 of the original 42,450 starters surviving the brutal third day—up from last year’s dropout rate—participants push through blistered feet, sweltering heat, and even disqualifications for not carrying enough gear or wearing the wrong wristband. Medical teams are swamped, treating over 1,400 blisters in just two days, proving this four-day endurance test is as punishing as it is rewarding.
