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: You can choose from several time slots as early as 7:15 am with limited capacity when signing up. This ensures the most remote hiking experience as a maximum of 5 hikers will cross the starting line at the same time. The first ones will head out between 7:15 – 7:30 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.

 

Parking: Complimentary parking will be available right on site.

 

Aid/refreshment stations: There are 3 fully stacked aid stations along the route providing toilets, food and drinks for all participants. These refreshments are included in the cost of your ticket. The refreshments vary between each station, offering water, energy drinks, fruits, cereal/protein bars, sandwiches and more. The route features an additional stop to refill your water bottles.

​

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.

Merchandise: Our 2024 merchandise collection will be available soon.
