Date: Saturday, April 29, 2023

 

Distance: 20 miles in 8 hours 

There is no timekeeping, there are no failures, we only recognize the incredible courage it takes to rise to our challenge. Every participant completing the distance will be awarded with their finisher medal and considered a winner!

 

Starting time: Several starting slots available from 7:15 a.m. (*NEW* earlier start to ensure a “cooler” start and finish already in the afternoon hours). You can choose from specific time slots with limited capacity when signing up. This ensures the most remote hiking experience as a maximum of 5 people will cross the starting line at the same time. The first hikers will start as early as 7 a.m. with the majority coming back in just about 8 hours. However, we will have our finish line open for the ones that need a bit more time.

 

Venue (start/finish): Fort Christmas Historical Park, 1300 N Fort Christmas Rd, Christmas, FL 32709

 

Parking: Complimentary parking will be available at Fort Christmas Historical Park

 

Aid/refreshment stations: There are aid stations along the route (approximately positioned every 5-7 miles apart) providing toilets, food and drinks for all participants. These refreshments are included in the cost of your ticket. The refreshments will vary between refreshment stations, providing water, coffee, tea isotonic drinks, fruits, cereal bars, nuts. (*NEW* An additional water stop will be included.)

​

Certificates: All finishers will receive their personalized certificate after crossing the finish line. For the ones who drop out, we will issue certificates stating the mileage covered.

​

Finisher medal/wall of fame: For all participants finishing MammothMarch.

​
