The Dutch 30th Battalion Nationale Reserve, one of the battalions of the Korps Nationale Reserve and unit of the 13th Mechanised Brigade, won the first prize as best Dutch Army unit during this march. 

At the last day of the International Four Days Marches Nijmegen the Canadian and British detachments, followed by the Dutch 30th Battalion Nationale Reserve, start the last 5 kilometers from Charlemagne. They walk down the St Anna Street which sets the stage for the arrival on the last day of the International Four Days Marches Nijmegen. For this occasion, the street is renamed Via Gladiola. The name is a play on the Dutch saying "Death or the Gladioli", referring to Roman times when the gladiolus became a symbol of strength and victory. It now honours those who finish the marches.
