Nijmegen, The Netherlands. 22nd July, 2016. Since it is the world’s biggest multi-day walking event, the Four Days Marches is seen as the prime example of sportsmanship and international bonding between military servicemen and women and civilians from many different countries. The final day of marching crosses Grave, Cuijk, Overasselt and Malden. The rain, thunderstorms, hails and strong winds expected in the Netherlands for the coming hours, caught the Vierdaagse organizers completely off guard. Credit: Romy Arroyo Fernandez/Alamy Live News

Nijmegen, The Netherlands. 22nd July, 2016. Since it is the world’s biggest multi-day walking event, the Four Days Marches is seen as the prime example of sportsmanship and international bonding between military servicemen and women and civilians from many different countries. The final day of marching crosses Grave, Cuijk, Overasselt and Malden. The rain, thunderstorms, hails and strong winds expected in the Netherlands for the coming hours, caught the Vierdaagse organizers completely off guard. Vierdaagse weatherman Jules Geirnaerdt did not see it coming, a spokesperson for the organizers said to De Stentor. “That can happen.” Many participants were better prepared and can be seen marching along in their raincoats. Exactly 42 557 walkers have finished the 100th edition of the Four Marches Walk. For this special edition of this event a recreation of the pontoon bridge over the river Maas was building in the city of Cuijk. © Romy Arroyo Fernandez/Alamy Live News
