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: Several starting slots are available from 7:30 a.m. 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 participants cross the starting line at the same time. The first hikers will start as early as 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 on site; all Park fees are included in your ticket as well.

​

Aid/refreshment stations: There are up to three aid stations/water stops 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, etc.

​

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

 

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

Total elevation gain: Around 1,200 ft.

Terrain: A great mix of everything: Paved and unpaved hiking trails, dirt trails, gravel roads, forest floor.
