Norwegian Foot March

The Norwegian Foot March is an 18.6 mile foot march that was first held in 1915 as a test of marching endurance for soldiers in the Norwegian Army. The original intent of the march was to ensure the Army could quickly move large numbers of soldiers with their essential gear and weapons over long distances and remain combat-ready at their objective. Today, the march is still practiced by the Norwegian military, but also used to promote long distance hiking and physical fitness among many civilian populations and Norway’s allies!
