Army and Air Force service members from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) participated in the Norwegian Foot March June 18, testing their endurance and mental fortitude.
The Norwegian Foot March is a military stamina test in which the participants march or run an 18.6 mile-long route, carrying a 25-pound rucksack. Participants have a maximum time of 4 ½ hours to complete the march.
It is a test of strength, grit, and resilience. It also encourages morale and comraderie, and those who successfully complete the march earn the Norwegian Foot March badge.
The march originated in the Norwegian Army in 1915 as a test of marching endurance, and is now a popular event among military and civilian participants.
