Delaware Valley
Saturday, June 17 | Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area
​
MammothMarch is coming to Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area in northeast Maryland!
Known for its 5,656 acres of pristine fields, woodlands and natural beauty, Fair Hill makes for a picture-perfect spot to host our 20-mile MammothMarch in the Delaware Valley.
The Natural Resources Management Area is bordered by Pennsylvania to the north and less than half a mile west of Delaware. Once one of the largest private land holdings in the east, Fair Hill was formerly owned by William duPont, Jr., an avid equestrian rider who acquired the farmland as a means to enjoy riding as well as fox chasing. Now it's all yours to conquer!
