Registration now open for the 21st annual USI Norwegian Foot March

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEVV) — The University of Southern Indiana is gearing up for the 21st annual Norwegian Foot March on Saturday, November 15.

Participants will tackle an 18.6-mile journey through Evansville’s west side, carrying a 25-pound rucksack. The event, open to ROTC cadets, service members, veterans, and civilians, starts and finishes on the USI campus.

Registration costs $35 for ROTC cadets and $55 for others, closing on November 7 or when 500 participants are reached. The event is sponsored by USI’s Student Veteran Association, with proceeds benefiting the USI ROTC Program.

A canned food drive will run alongside the march, benefiting Archie’s Food Closet. Participants can use non-perishable items for the required weight and donate them afterward.
