Four Days of the Yser

The 48^th edition of the Four Days of the Yser will take place between 17 and 20 August, 2021. Due to the corona crisis and the measures taken, the organisation of such events is currently forbidden.

We will try our best to set up the walking activities, possibly in an adapted form, as soon as permission is given. Additional information will be released on Facebook, Instagram, in our newsletter and on this page as soon as available.

Thanks to the medical unit (14th Medical Battalion) of Belgian Defence, 4 medical emergency stations will be deployed along the route every day, as well as one command post in the start and or finish area and two ambulances driving around the route. The locations are marked on the walker’s route map.

NO foot care will be provided at the start.

For urgent medical assistance, participants should call the emergency number 112. For non-urgent medical assistance, participants can call the phone number mentioned on their personal walking card.

The medical emergency stations and the ambulances are staffed by doctors, nurses and paramedics and will provide the necessary medical assistance along the route.

A broom wagon is also present on the route to help you further in case of immobilization.

Do not forget to report any accidents at the secretariat in order to fill in the declaration form for the insurance company.
