you have a family with young children? Then we can only recommend the six-kilometer track. Bouncy castles galore and a genuine children’s village will make the kilometers fly by unnoticed. And maybe there will even be some time to take part in a workshop on life in the North Sea...

you want to explore your boundaries or you want to practise for some long-distance challenge later this year? The 42-km track will be your thing...
In advance Through the website www.2daagse.be, the two-day walking tradition is only a click away. Apart from being the cheapest way, registration through the website is also the most comfortable way. You do not have to queue up before the start and upon arriving in Blankenberge, you can start your walk, the main reason for your presence, without losing much time. Fill out your data, you do not even have to leave your sofa to settle the payment. It does not take more than that. If you still prefer the human touch, who are we to blame you? You can also register in the Blankenberge Tourism Office. There, you can register until 7.30 p.m. on Friday night 2 May. On-the-spot registration As before, people that are not able to register online still have the possibility to register in the tent on the market square (Grote Markt).
Briefly, each walker will find his favourite distance in Blankenberge.
Blankenberge owes this peace to the Canadians, who have played an important role in the liberation of the town in the Second World War. For this reason, we have chosen Canada as our theme country. So, dear walking friends, we welcome you to the 45th edition of the International Two-Day Walk to which our volunteers, partners and sponsors have their own contribution. Give them your confidence and enjoy the pleasure of walking.
the members of your youth group want to combine the walk with a swim in the sea, relaxing on the beach or climbing a tree to enjoy the view? Then the 15-km walk will be most suitable to you.... you are looking for surplus value and you want to enjoy all assets of the coastal area and its hinterland? You will definitely enjoy the 24km classic walk then....
2014 will be the year for the centenary commemorations the start of the First World War. As a central theme for our event, we have thus chosen for peace: ‘Walking for Peace’

On 3 and 4 May, it is on again. For this year’s event, we will remain loyal to the main assets of the event. Once again, participants will get a very diverse track at their feet. On the beach, in the dunes and through the polders. Of course, there will be time for relaxing too: a stop in one of the many charming villages with their vintage cafés. And at the end of the walk, everyone is entitled to a souvenir medal and tasty local fish from the North Sea.

“To the people of Blankenberge, the first weekend of May has become synonymous with the International Two-Day Walk of Flanders. The event will already have its 45th edition this year.”
The ‘stage capitals’ Lissewege and Zuienkerke are traditionally full of atmosphere. The village church of Uitkerke will however be the image on the souvenir medal and badge this Badge 2-daags e 2014 (75x100 year. mm)

central theme 2014
Walking is what unites us! Let’s meet on 3 and 4 May 2014.
free sampling along the track In the marquee, you can taste Blankenberge’s regional beer the ‘Blankenbergse Kokketeute’, brewed in Ertvelde by the Van Steenberge brewery and launched on 6 July 2012. Kokketeute is a smooth blonde beer of high fermentation with delicious hints of malt, hops and citrus, with refermentation in the bottle and an exact alcoholic strength of 7.2%. ‘kokketeute’ is a typical Blankenberge dialect word for a beautiful and smartly dressed girl.
Registration fee Registration fee will depend on the chosen distance and the way of registration. Members of a Belgian walking association will get a discount of €1,00 when participating two days or €0,50 when participating one day. Registration includes participation, description of the tracks, souvenir medal (when participating two days), badge, insurance, care and sampling.

parantee paralympic championships:
g-sport on an international level! Parantee is the Flemish sports federation for persons with a disability. From 2 to 4 May, they are organizing an international Goalball tournament in Blankenberge. Goalball is a ball game for the visually impaired. The aim of the game is scoring as many goals as possible in the opponent’s goal with a ball containing bells, which enable the opponent team to locate it. During the Two-Day Walk, international goalball teams will face each other in the Bloso sports centre. Participants on the 6km-track on Saturday 3 May will be able to admire these sports teams.

In 2014, a new group of participants will be there: the “Sportsmen for Doctors without Borders”. The association “Sportsmen for Doctors without Borders” wants to call attention to the mission of Doctors without Borders. Nevertheless, these sportsmen want to do more than just raise awareness for this charity organization. Through their performance they also want to raise funds for the organization. In 2012, they raised no less than 87,000 EUR and since the beginning in the nineties, they have already raised over 2 million EUR for charity. If their actions until now have been limited to running or cycling events, as of 2014, they also want to raise awareness of walkers to their fund-raising activities. And they will surely take their start with their participation to the Two-Day Walk of Flanders in Blankenberge on 3 and 4 May 2014. You will find more information on : www.2daagse.be/szg www.sportersvoorazg.be info@sportersvoorazg.be
We want to share with you the beautiful ‘green’ surroundings of Blankenberge and wish to cherish this riches. We are highly committed to environmental care. In past years, we have been awarded several trophies for our efforts and although our event has almost 10,000 participants and covers an area of about 110 km², we try to keep the impact on nature as low as possible. And we need your help in doing this!

walking ecologically and the way it is done... Help us in motivating your fellow walker to keep the Two-Day Walk clean & tidy • If you bring along your packed lunch, make use of a lunch box; • Avoid the use of one-way packaging as much as possible; • Never throw tin cans, cups or other waste onto the ground, thus avoiding roaming rubbish and showing respect for our precious polder and nature; • Make use of the available waste containers, even if it means you have to walk an extra 10 meters; • Sort out your disposable material correctly: choose the right container on the ‘waste islands’; • Take only those promotion folders which are of interest to you.
