Kennedymars

Kennedy-Mars Sittard is a historic walking event held annually in Sittard, Netherlands, renowned for its challenging 80 km trail, inspired by American models. Since 1963, when the first event saw ten courageous participants from the Bisschoppelijk College, it has evolved into the oldest Kennedy walk in the country. Scheduled each year on the Saturday before Easter, this iconic march attracts adventurers who embrace the challenge of covering the distance within 20 hours.

Hosted by the Stichting Kennedy-Mars Sittard, the event also features related activities such as the Swentibold-Mars and Mini-Mars, catering to walkers of all ages and experience levels. The organization thrives on community support and sponsorship, making it possible to deliver an unforgettable experience. Participants can register online, access practical information, and stay updated on results and photos from previous events.
