IML LogoInternational Walking Association

The IML Walking Association (formerly the International Marching League) sanctions a series of annual walks that take place in different countries with the purpose of promoting international travel and friendship through walking.

Multi-Day Walks

Each IML Walking Association walk has a minimum of two days of walking, with a minimum distance of at least 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) per day to earn an IML record book stamp. Within these guidelines, the member events have a wide variety. In addition to the longer walks, most offer shorter distance trails such as 5K and 10K. Most of the walks also offer a 40K or marathon 42K trail each day. Events vary in duration from 2, 3, or 4 days.

Best Walking Events in the World

An event must go through a judging process to become an IML event. Only one event is allowed in most countries. It must be an event that welcomes and pleases walkers from around the world.
