DORENA, Ore. - The ROTC Cadets from Oregon State University gather for a group photograph after completing the Norwegian Foot March held on Sept. 27, 2025, near Dorena, Oregon. Nearly 70 participants from the military community, including ROTC students from Oregon State University and the University of Oregon, had the opportunity to participate in a Norwegian Foot March along the Row River Trail, trying to earn the NFM badge, boost esprit de corps, and make up drill periods while improving physical readiness. The Norwegian Foot March is a military endurance test as the participants March or Ruck a 30 km (18.6-mile) route, carrying a rucksack of 11 kg (24 lbs).
