Marking the 70th anniversary of the conflict's cease-fire this year, the event honors the sacrifice and dedication of veterans from U.N. member states by having the bikers go through battlefields of the war. Covering a roundtrip distance of 22 km, they passed a monument to Australia and New Zealand's participation in the war and one to Canada's.
