What avondvierdaagse does

Avondvierdaagse Vianen (legally Stichting Avond4daagse Vianen, also doing business as A4D) is a Dutch non-profit foundation that organizes an annual four-day community walking event in Vianen, Netherlands, under the auspices of the Koninklijke Wandel Bond Nederland (KWBN), the Dutch national walking federation. The 2026 edition is scheduled for Monday May 18 through Thursday May 21, 2026, departing from and finishing at Bassisschool De Rank, offering 5 km and 10 km route options that traverse local neighborhoods and natural areas including the Viaans Bos and Utrechts Landschap. The foundation is governed by a three-person volunteer board (Chairman Bob Ververs, Treasurer Ageeth Helwig, Board Support Dineke Ververs) and relies on certified traffic controllers from Stichting Verkeersregelaars Evenementen Vianen plus EHBO (first aid) personnel for in-event safety.

The foundation's revenue model is built on individual participant registration fees — €5.00 for walkers under 17 and €5.50 for those 17 and older — collected exclusively through the online registration module hosted on KWBN's atleta.cc platform; no cash payments are accepted. Registration fees cover municipal permits, medals, first aid, music at the arrival ceremony and on Voorstraat, printing, KWBN membership, website costs, and volunteer facilities and refreshments. The event is supplemented by an in-kind sponsorship ecosystem comprising local route sponsors (April Makelaars, Kwalitaria Vianen, Unicum), support sponsors (Waardlanden Reinigingsdienst, van der Scheur Transport), and treats sponsors including Echte Bakker Steehouder, Albert Heijn Lijnbaan Vianen, two Plus supermarkets, and Dichtbij Kinderopvang.

The technology footprint is minimal: a static informational website (avondvierdaagsevianen.nl) for event communication and route distribution, and the third-party KWBN atleta.cc registration platform. Marketing is conducted primarily through the website and digital route documents distributed to local schools for participant recruitment, with a separate in-person registration assistance session offered on May 7, 2026. The organization is actively seeking an additional board member and additional certified traffic controllers, signaling modest organizational expansion within Vianen; there is no indication of geographic expansion, new product lines, technology development, or external funding.

Others
