You will have more details about the type of snacks in the program in the roadmap.

To give you a general idea of the different snacks offered, you will find among others: tea, coffee or soup, softs or juice from Oxfam Fair Trade, fresh fruits (bananas, apples, kiwi...) and dried fruits (nuts, apricots and dried mangoes...), salty snacks (crackers, chips...) and sweet snacks (brioche, chocolate, cereal bars...) There will be something for everyone!

In this year's roadmap, you will find on the back the 25km course (Waterpoint WP). The program of the event is also displayed on the map, which will allow you to already organize your team. Finally, all the information concerning the supporters, the security of the walkers and the waste management are also included. In addition to this practical information, you will find words of encouragement from our general manager Eva Smets, from the Mayor of Sports of the city of Saint-Hubert, as well as an infographic of the actions of Oxfam Belgium.

In case of serious injury or problem, this is the emergency number that you can call : +32 473 70 19 59. You will receive a bracelet at registration with this number. Please never call 112! As the phone coverage is not optimal on the whole course, you might have difficulties to reach this number. In this case, a member of the team will travel to find the network. Never leave a walker alone! If you cannot find a signal, you can press the SOS button on your GPS tracker for 3 seconds. The protocol for using the emergency button will be given to you in the welcome pack when you register with your teams . We ask you to follow our safety procedure before using this SOS button in order not to endanger the rescue system in place. Please note that the presence of the rescue team is assured at all checkpoints, as well as at departure and arrival.

Before the walk, the organization will give you a GPS beacon and a map to the parking areas provided near each checkpoint that you will give to your supporters to join you at the checkpoints. The GeoDynamics™ GPS beacon will be activated just before the start. This location mode will allow your supporters to track your progress during the walk. In case of a problem, you will be able to press the SOS button on the beacon for three seconds so that the organization is notified and can locate you and come to your aid. Don't forget to return the beacon at the end of the walk! During the whole walk, we will provide you with water points where you can fill your water bottles at the different checkpoints, this will avoid you to bring back water bottles in reserve.
