In 1973 the title Continental Centurion was first allocated. Continental Centurion 1 is Jan Vos.
The rules to obtain this title are roughly the same as for (UK) Centurions. You have to walk 160.928 kilometres within 24 hours at a race on Dutch soil. Normally these races are organized by the O.L.A.T. one year, followed by the R.W.V. the next year (in Weert and Schiedam respectively). Just like a Centurion, a Continental Centurion receives a number which he or she will keep for the rest of his or her life (and beyond).  Continental Centurions are mainly Dutch, but there are also some German, Belgian, British or Danish Continental Centurions.


Dutch Centurion Association
After L. Schol, Centurion 291, had become the first Dutch Centurion, more and more Dutch men and women travelled to Great Britain to obtain the Centurion title. Besides the British Centurions, the largest group of foreign Centurions are the Dutch. To stay in contact with each other and to represent the Dutch contingent of Centurions the Dutch Centurion Association (Centurion Vereniging Nederland, C.V.N.) was founded on the 12th February 1966. The C.V.N. spreads news about past and future races amongst its members, organizes trips to the British races and has a Centurion reunion each year. After the last Battersea Park race, the reunion 1999 was held on the 27th of November 1999 in Amersfoort, where the Dutch cavalry museum (tanks/horses) was visited.
 

The founders decided that the positions of President and Vice President would be for terms of 2 years and would rotate through the membership in order of Centurion number. That would ensure that all members had the chance to serve the club in an official capacity
