Walk the Frontline Walk
A friend has invited you to do this with them.
The Western Front edition of this walk covers 100km on foot through the First World War battlefields of France and Belgium, from Lochnagar Crater on the Somme to the Menin Gate. The Army Benevolent Fund, a charity, organises The Frontline Walk as a fundraising series, with other routes including the Normandy beaches.

How to start
- Open the Army Benevolent Fund's events site and compare the Frontline Walk routes on offer.
- Register for the walk you choose and note the fundraising target that comes with a place.
- Train with back-to-back long walks, since the route is covered over several consecutive days.
Where to go
We opened this link on 8 October 2026 and found it to be what we say. Dates, places and prices are on the official page, where they stay up to date.
Plan this
Pick a day, or a month, and we will set out how to get ready, step by step, with a date and a reason for each. Events have fixed dates and entry or ticket deadlines. Physical events add a training plan from our guidance engine, and its length is set by the engine, not by the date you would like.
