Traffic jam
100Km Dodentocht brings with it a lot of atmosphere in Bornem. During the week before the start, you can feel the excitement rising, volunteers busy getting everything ready. It also brings some traffic inconvenience because some places and/or streets are difficult to access or sometimes even closed to motorised traffic.
Thank you for your understanding for any inconvenience this may cause you:
Environmental charter
A green and calm environment is very important to hiking enthusiasts. This is why contributing to a healthy and clean environment is fully in line with the beliefs of the organisation of the 100 km Dodentocht. We believe that a large organisation like the 100 km Dodentocht must act as a pioneer in this field and serve as an example to other events and organisations in the region.
