Fort Custer Norwegian Foot March 2026

The Fort Custer Norwegian Foot March is an 18.6-mile ruck march at Fort Custer, partnered with the Michigan Army National Guard Officer Candidate School. Participants carry a 25-pound ruck and must finish within the standard time, with limits adjusted by gender and age group. This is a pass/fail endurance event. Missing the time standard means no badge or certificate. The 177th Regiment at Fort Custer introduced the Norwegian Foot March to the area. The event also runs alongside a food drive. Participants receive a T-shirt; badges and shirt sizes depend on the original registration list if an entry is transferred.
