The Forces March is one of the UK’s top challenge events. Participants attempt to complete five stages in five days. Each stage is at least 26.2 miles in length – 5 marathons in 5 days! The undulating all-road route begins in Ilfracombe, North Devon and passes through Exmoor, the Quantocks, Somerset and much of Salisbury Plain before finishing at The Forces Festival just outside of Bulford Camp, the UK’s biggest Army Garrison.

Entries are invited from military personnel, emergency services teams, ex-forces, civilians and corporate teams. In fact The Forces March is for EVERYONE. Whether you are a keen walker or an ultra-athlete the march is whatever challenge you want it to be. Teams must consist of a minimum of 4 persons and each team must have their own support crew and vehicle to assist with transportation, camp set-up and equipment supplies. Individual entrants will be assisted by our support crew.

Entries are limited so if YOU are up for the challenge, submit your entry TODAY

The course is particularly challenging with many hills and valleys along the way. Spectacular scenery is very much a part of the route!
