20-Mile Mammoth March (May 2026)

We’re posting this event here in case anyone might be interested in signing up for a BIG hike! The Mammoth March is an annual, “20-miles in 8 hours” hike set in multiple locations throughout the US. The Delaware Valley location (Elkton, MD) is closest to us, and is scheduled for Saturday, May 30th, 2026.

20-miles is about 32kms, and this would be equivalent to a big day on the Camino. But signing up (and training!) for an event like this could be the perfect preparation for a summer Camino!

We are sharing the event here with an understanding that anyone who signs up takes responsibility for their own hike. This is not a group event like our other hikes! We already have a few members registered, and depending on who signs up we can look into carpooling, cheering each other on at the start (and maybe celebrating at the end). Some members may choose to walk together but this is very much a ‘hike your own hike’. For an event this long, people will have different paces and may have their own individual goals. If you decide to participate, please be comfortable with the possibility/likelihood of doing this hike on your own.

When registering you can pick whichever start time works best for you; 8:00am is the recommended start time for those who want to gather as a group and start the walk together! UPDATE It looks like 8:00 am time slots are already sold out. If you want to start with the group, go ahead and sign up for 8:30 - as we discovered last year, starting times are somewhat flexible, and if we all assemble around 7:45, we likely will be able to start earlier.

If there is interest, the group may gather for post-walk drinks/food!
