RegisterNorwegian Foot March Details
History:
First held in 1915 as a test of marching endurance for soldiers in the Norwegian Military. A strategic goal was to be able to move larger units of troops over a great distance swiftly and in a manner that enabled them to efficiently be combat ready even after the march (rucksack/weaponry of 11 kg).
Test:
The test consists of a 30 km march (march/run) with rucksack.
Reward:
Military Service members who complete the Foot March to time and uniform standards will receive the Marsjmerket badge that is authorized for wear on the Army Service Uniform.
