Distances

WALKING – 30 km

The length of the route in this category will not exceed 30 km, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced long-distance walkers. This category will start at the usual start times of the walk, i.e. in the morning. There is no time limit for completing this category.

 

Purpose (Translated from Czech)

The extreme long-distance MILITARY DEATH MARCH does not aim to celebrate death. It honors the innocent women and girls who died in the 1945 Death March. By participating in this ruck, you will financially contribute to the restoration of the volary cemetery graves, where the victims of the 1945 death march are buried, and to other projects.
