Every year JOEK organizes the Kennedymars in Someren on the 1st weekend of July. Three walking tours of 8km, 40km and 80km.
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.
Villages & Times
Broadly speaking, the route of the Kennedy March in 2022 will be the same as that of 2019. In 2022 we again expect a lot of fun in the places through which the route runs. Below is an overview of the villages and times on the route:
Please note: the transit times are an estimate based on averages of walking speeds from past years.
