Frequently Asked Questions

No🙂. We’re not that crazy! We do take breaks to rest, change, eat, stretch our legs, and use the restroom. We’re not competing for distance. Every year, everyone that started has finished, even the person who went out for a drink or two the night before.

The answer is straightforward: walk as much as possible. The more you walk prior to the challenge, the better prepared you’ll be. Aim for at least two 6-hour walks to physically and mentally prepare yourself. So far, everyone who started the challenge has completed it, even those who didn’t train at all. However, we don’t advise this approach.

💡 Tip: Consider walking instead of biking or taking public transportation.

Indeed, we do. However, we organize plenty of distractions during the walk to keep everyone motivated. These include pub quizzes, silent disco, breathwork, meditation exercises, and even a ‘bakfiets DJ.’

It’s entirely up to you. You set your own goal. Over the past two years, the average raised by each ’24-hour walker’ has been EUR 1,750.

Absolutely! The more people, the better! Just ensure that they either sponsor you or donate directly through our website to participate.

Yes, this will be our third consecutive year. In the first year, we raised money for Movement on the Ground and KLABU for the refugees at Lesvos. Last year, we raised money for Justdiggit to cool down the planet, and we’ll be raising money for Justdiggit again this year.

We recommend walking shoes, but running shoes can work too. Make sure you’ve walked in your shoes several times before the event. Blisters can become your number-one enemy!

This depends on the weather. Make sure you’re comfortable and have walked in your chosen outfit before. You likely won’t sweat as you’re walking. Check the weather forecast before the start date to ensure you have warm clothes if it gets cold and a rain jacket if needed.

All funds raised are directed to Justdiggit, an organization committed to restoring dry and degraded land in Africa as a means of cooling down our planet. At 24 The Planet (Stichting The Greater Good), we operate on a voluntary basis. Nobody receives a salary for their participation.

Our event is organized on a volunteer basis, implying that all proceeds (registration fees included) are dedicated to Justdiggit. We do set aside the registration fee to cover potential costs related to the event, which we strive to keep as low as possible. Post-event, any surplus is added to the raised funds to boost our contribution to Justdiggit 💪

Yes, you can leave your belongings at our home base.
