About us
Welcome to Nijmegen, Explore and More!
This group is for anyone who likes fun activities, fresh air, friendly faces or just good vibes, in and around the oldest city in the Netherlands.
Whether you're a local, new in town, or just looking for fun activities and good company, you're in the right place!
We like are open to all kinds of activities: hiking, bouldering, meditation, day trips, good food, anything you can think of, really.
Got an idea for an event? Don’t be shy, let us know and we will share it. We’re always up for something fun, unusual, or wonderfully random. If you host a recurring event and would like to promote it here, let us know and we can make you an event organizer for the group.
Marking yourself as "going" takes a spot away from others for limited capacity events. If your plans change, please change your RSVP to 'not going'. Not sure you wanna join but just wanna save an event for later? Use the ❤️ instead.
We hope to see you at one of our events soon!

Walk the Zandvoort Race Track - PLN Fundraiser (4.5–42.5 km)
Circuit Zandvoort (race track), Burgemeester van Alphenstraat 108, Zandvoort, NLFancy a challenge for a good cause? Join us for a fund raising walk on the famous Zandvoort race track!
The brother and mother of one of my best friends have been diagnosed with PLN, a genetic heart condition. This disease still has no cure and crucial research is at risk of slowing down as international funding becomes uncertain due to the changed political climate. That's why we are trying to raise funds, so this very important research can continue.
Last year I joined this charity walk and asked for donations. This year I thought: our Nijmegen Explore & More community is full of people who enjoy walking, good conversations, and a bit of a challenge... so why not just invite you to join us? It would mean very much to me if you do!
What to expect
We walk (or run if you want) laps on the actual race track itself.
You decide how many laps you want to walk (1-10). Each lap is 4259 m, and a new lap starts every hour on the hour.- Start 09:00 → full challenge (10 laps / 42.59 km)
- Start 14:00 → half distance (5 laps)
- Start later → fewer laps
Even one lap is already meaningful. The distance you walk and if you make it or not, is not tied to the funds being raised.
We all start our final lap at 18:00, finishing together by 19:00.My experience from last year is that, depending on your pace, you’ll usually have enough time for a decent break.
Schedule
- 08:45 Opening ceremony
- 09:00 First lap
- 18:00 Final lap start
- 19:00 Finish / ceremony
- 20:00 Event ends
Costs
- Registration costs €30 (€25 if you sign up before April 1st).
