3rd Military March Czech Republic

On May 11th 2013 the 3rd annual Military March Czech republic took place in Moravsky kras with starting point and finish line both in camp Baldovec, that we do not recommend for any similar events, neither family vacation.

The march started off with short speech general Žižka, who also expressed his appreciation of attendees and pointed out growing international participation. Mainly soldiers and policemen but also other public service members and civilians. Special 10k route was designed for veterans and families with children. The march had attendees from abroad such as Slovakia, Germany, Austria, Poland, France, Great Britain or Romania. Each participant also obtained a snack package.
