Q: Is the RAF 2-Day march only open to those teams wishing to qualify for Nijmegen?
A:No, the RAF 2-Day march is a qualifying event for the Nijmegen march, however the RAF 2-Day March is also an event in it's own right. You do not have to complete 2 x 40km routes, we have a range of distances available to Civilian and Military walkers.
Q: What is the minimum age to take part in the RAF 2-Day?
A:There is no set minimum age, in fact we encourage younger walkers accompanied by adults to try our 10km and 20km routes as an introduction to road walking.
