March of Diekirch award ceremony in Colorado Springs, CO
Did you know that in 2022, exceptionally, anyone from around the world had the opportunity to participate virtually in the March of Diekirch.
Marche Internationale De Diekirch is an international march, held every year in Luxembourg, originally organized by the Luxembourg Army in 1968. This annual event attracts both locals and visitors throughout Luxembourg's surrounding area. The walk itself consists of a 12, 20 or 40 km hike. It's certainly a healthy activity to add to the bucket list and there are awards and medals to be won for this special event. Since its inception, more than 250,000 individuals have participated.
At an awards ceremony in Colorado Springs, Jeff Weltzin, Honorary Consul of Luxembourg in Colorado added 16 more medal recipients from the US Army 423rd Transportation Company, who have took on this challenge and completed either the 12.4 (20km), or the 24.8 mile (40km) distance. We are very honored for all of those who participated, and we commend those who put in the effort and stamina to finish the March!
The 54rd edition of the "Marche Internationale de Diekirch" will take place on 3-4 June 2023 in the usual manner through the rolling terrain of the Ardennes Forest in northern Luxembourg. More information and registration HERE.
