The 2008 edition featured 6,620 participants which volunteered in a chip project where a chip was connected to the shoelaces of participants which registered on special floormats on the routes. With the data collected in this way the organization was able to monitor individual progress as well as predict bottlenecks. The chiplace project also allowed for the prediction of rush hours of emergency and first-aid posts and to predict emergency models in case of calamities.
The 2009 93rd Four Day Marches started on 21 July. Registration was from 2 February onwards until 9 April.
