The Awards
On participating in your first IML walk, you may purchase an IML Walking Passport. Your name and date of birth must be filled in and a photograph inserted. On completion of any multi day IML walk (min. of 20 km/day), a special stamp of that walk is put into the passport, and a Bronze IML Medal and Country Bar may be purchased. The medal is inscribed “Nos Iungat Ambulare” (“Let walking unite us”). Three stamps (from three different countries), on a single page constitute a “series”, and an entitlement to additional awards. The award system is further explained in this brochure.

IML Walking Association
The IML Walking Association (previously called the International Marching League) is a non-profit organisation whose aim is to promote well organised walking events of 2, 3 or 4 days duration all over the world, and encourage walkers to participate in other countries' walking events. It was founded in 1987 by the representatives of the eight "founder countries”: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. Other countries have since joined the organisation, and two sub-groups have since been created, namely the European Region and the Pan Pacific Region.
