Nijmegen, Explore and More!

19 km is also a perfect first training day for the PLN charity walk. And you’re of course also absolutely welcome to come if you’re not joining the fundraiser. Come for the nature, the social vibe, or just because you enjoy a solid hike.

What to expect
📍Distance: ~19 km
🌲Terrain: mostly forest paths, sandy sections and heathland (varied and scenic)
🚶‍Pace: relaxed but steady
☕Breaks: there are some nice spots for a couple of breaks

Times & places
⏱️12:15 Start at Lunteren train station (Spoorstraat 4, 6741 DE Lunteren)
🏁17:00 Back at starting point (estimate depending on pace and breaks, flexibility helps)

Cost
💰A €7.50 donation (or more 😉) to the PLN fundraising walk. Prefer to donate via a payment link/iDeal, or cash? Just send me a message!
🎗️This event is free if you have already signed up for our team in the PLN fundraising walk
❤️‍🩹The brother and mother of one of my best friends have been diagnosed with PLN, a genetic heart condition. This disease still has no cure and crucial research is at risk of slowing down as international funding becomes uncertain due to the changed political climate. That's why we are trying to raise funds, so this very important research can continue.

Preparation
🥾This is a friendly training distance, suitable if you’re comfortable walking longer routes. No speed needed, just a positive mindset.
🥪Bring water, snacks, weather-appropriate clothing, and comfortable shoes.
❓Questions? Send me a message, happy to help :-)

Event Policies
⚠️ Disclaimer: Participants are responsible for their own safety. Please stay with the group and respect nature at all times.
⚠️ Cancellation: The event will be canceled in case of severe weather conditions (you’ll be notified in advance). A refund is not possible because this is a fundraiser, the money goes directly to a good cause. But I will try to reschedule a worthy replacement event :-)
⚠️ No-show might result in ban: Marking yourself as "going" takes a spot away from others for limited capacity events like this. If you are marked as going but don't show up, you might be banned from the Nijmegen Explore & More group

27 km is a solid but very doable distance and also serves as a great training hike for the PLN charity walk. Of course you’re also very welcome if you’re not joining the fundraiser. Come for the scenery, the company, or simply because you enjoy a proper hike.

🌊Terrain: mostly flat floodplains, riverside paths and dikes. Open and scenic and there might be some mud
🚶‍♂️Pace: steady but social
☕Breaks: several short breaks + one slightly longer rest stop (no guaranteed cafes)

Times & places
⏱️11:00 Depart from Nijmegen Central Station
🏁17:00-18:00 Back in Nijmegen (estimate depending on pace and breaks, flexibility helps)

32 km? Yeah it is somewhat more than we usually do, but that is because this is also the final practice hike before the PLN charity event. But you’re absolutely welcome to join only this hike even if you don't join the PLN fundraiser. Come for the distance, the challenge, or just the fun of hiking together.

What to expect
📍Distance: ~32 km
⛰️Terrain: a bit of elevation (160m), mixed paths and roads but a lot of nice forrest paths
🚶‍♂️Pace: steady but social
☕Breaks: 2 short breaks + 1 longer stop at a small cafe to enjoy some well deserved food and rest

Times & places
⏱️11:15 Depart at train station Nijmegen Heyendaal (meetup in front of the steps)
🏁20:30-22:00 Back at Nijmegen Heyendaal (estimate depending on our pace and breaks, please keep your schedule flexible just in case)

Preparation
🥾This is a solid distance, so some endurance and good shoes are needed. You don’t need to be really fast, just prepared and up for the challenge. Also see the other hikes if you wanna build up the kilometers.
🥪Bring water, snacks, weather-appropriate clothing, some determination and your ID (we might cross the German border)
