MammothMarch is finally coming to Northeast Florida! After three years in Christmas/Orlando, Dunns Creek State Park will be home to our iconic 20-mile hiking adventure and 2025 season kick-off on February 1. Located south of a sharp bend in the St. Johns River, more than 6,200 acres of natural communities are represented in Dunns Creek State Park.
Tucked in between Jacksonville, Orlando and Gainesville, and just around 90 minutes away from either city, Dunns Creek makes for the picture-perfect Florida hiking getaway.

Local Partner:
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 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 a little bit longer for the ones that need a bit more time – cut off time at either aid station will be sunset (meaning if you’re hiking at a pace that won’t let you finish before sunset, we will provide a shuttle service back to the venue).
Parking: Complimentary parking will be available at the event field on site, a scenic 2-mile drive after entering through the Park’s main entrance.
Accommodation: For a list of hotels/motels and other forms of accommodation, please refer to the tourism website of Putnam County: https://visit.putnamcountychamber.com/list/ql/lodging-travel-15

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.
