Pathfinder March

Pathfinder March

The Pathfinder March is an annual 46-mile (74 kilometre) long-distance walk in Cambridgeshire, England. The walk, which typically draws between three- and five-hundred participants, commemorates the role of the Royal Air Force Pathfinder Force in the Second World War.

The event, beginning and ending at the Royal Air Force Base at Wyton, is scheduled for the closest Saturday to Mid-Summers Day. Due to the strenuous nature of this event, and its proximity to the middle of summer many do not complete the event.

The route, minus the beginning and end inside RAF Wyton is signposted and open all year.

The Route

Walkers have twenty hours, starting at 0400 to complete the route. The route encompasses RAF Wyton, Godmanchester, Gravely Airfield, Gravely, Papworth Everard, Elsworth, Childerly, Dry Drayton, Oakington, Oakington Airfield, Longstanton, Bluntisham, Colne, Somersham, Warboys, Warboys Airfield and Kings Ripton.

A small section of the Ouse Valley Way is used on the Pathfinder March.
