Kennedymars Someren

Route Kennedy March

In the route of 2022, the walker again has the choice of the original nature route via the Strabrechtse Heide and the Keelven, or a fully paved route. The green line is the nature route, the blue line is the paved route. In Lierop, just after the post at the Sports Hall, the choice has to be made. At the next post (Soete Inval) all hikers come together again, but again the same choice has to be made as in Lierop.

NB! In order not to make too many or too few kilometers, you have to make the same choice in both Lierop and the Soete Inval post (natural or paved route). The paved route is approximately 2 km longer until the post Soete Inval and then 2 km shorter than the nature route.

The Kennedy March starts at 20:00 on Saturday evening, July 2. The latest finish time is 4:00 PM on Sunday afternoon.

Route Round Someren

In the route of 2022, the hiker will again be given the choice of the original nature route via the Strabrechtse Heide and the Keelven, or a fully paved route. The green line is the nature route, the blue line is the paved route. In Lierop, just after the post at the Sports Hall, the choice had to be made. At the next post (Soete Inval) all walkers come together again, but again the same choice had to be made as in Lierop.

The Rondje Someren has a so-called flying start between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, 3 July. Regardless of the start time, the latest finish time is 4:00 PM on Sunday afternoon.

The Mini Kennedy March

The Kennedy March Weekend starts every year with the Mini Kennedy March. A walking tour of 8 kilometers through the streets of Someren.

This year we will start on Saturday afternoon , July 2, 2022 at 12:00 pm from the Wilhelminaplein. Everyone is welcome to participate in this tour. Walk with your father, mother, grandfather, grandmother or with your classmates!

At the finish you have earned something delicious and of course a nice medal is waiting for you! This year's theme is pirates!
