Escape Evasion Gedenkmarsch "Long Distance Evader"

The Escape Evasion Gedenkmarsch "Long Distance Evader" is a 100 km remembrance march starting and finishing in Waldsee, Germany. It takes place in early June as a long-distance World War II memorial event, differing from a standard road race. The format is a semi-tactical evasion or breakthrough march, requiring participants to carry only an evasion or survival kit. The route incorporates locations connected to the war, such as the Siegfried Line, also known as the Westwall, and the Maginot Line. This march was established to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and honors soldiers of all nationalities, including Allied and Axis forces, men and women. Its core message emphasizes that former adversaries are now friends, with the walk intended for remembrance and fostering international understanding. Due to limited entry numbers, early registration is advised.
