Nijmegen Walk - socks. I have used these Wrightsocks since 1998, while doing my 1st Canada military walk, at Nijmegen. I continue to use these socks, and Podium Sports ( Canada) have donated 6 pair for the 2026 event.. #15 for me in 2026

The "big picture" of the Nijmegen Walk with me as a "Canada Veteran Walker" are three-fold:
1. Canada Veterans are recognized as supporters //participants at the walk, even though many have already retired from the military.
2. Future Canada Veterans, who follow in future years will not have to fight to get recognized as Canada Veterans at the Nijmegen Walk; and
3. Canada Veterans could actually have a Canada Veteran "symbol", both in Canada and internationally.

Hopefully, many years down the road there will actually be a full Canada Veteran Team, at the Nijmegen Walk..

Looks like I am going to be in the "Spotlight #26" at Nijmegen Walk 2026, of the 47 000 walkers. Not sure how that happened. I am glad I checked this link or I would have never know..😆. 😲.

It will be a chance to promote the idea of "Canada Veteran Walkers" for 2026. I am glad I finally got the Canada Veteran Walker crest for 2026 !!

When you take part in the 4Days Marches, you achieve something truly remarkable. Some do it to challenge themselves, others walk for a good cause or for a personal reason. As much as we’d love to, we unfortunately can’t highlight every participant — but we’ve selected a few who carry a parti...
