LEST WE FORGET
Your running adventure of a lifetime and sporting challenge! The Liberation Trail is a multistage ultra running event. From the D-day beaches in Normandy in a prologue + 6 stages, via Bastogne in the Ardennes to the John Frost Bridge in Arnhem. Following the original route of the liberators on the beaches, paths and through the forests where there was severe fighting during World War II.
Also a tribute to the men, boys who fought for our freedom in 1944 and 1945. ‘Lest we forget’ where our freedom comes from. And to prevent this memory from disappearing after the last veterans die.
