Mammutmarsch Dortmund

Mammutmarsch Dortmund begins and ends at Phoenix-West, a former industrial area at Phoenixplatz near the Warsteiner Music Hall. This extreme hiking event in Dortmund, Germany, offers 30, 42, and 55 km routes for walkers and Nordic walkers. It takes place in October, with start groups staggered throughout the morning. The 42 and 55 km routes depart earlier, while 30 km participants have a later start. The course crosses Dortmund’s Ruhr area, blending expansive former industrial zones with natural landscapes. This reflects the organizer’s view that the city provides more than just BVB football. Mammutmarsch UG frames the day as a distance challenge for individuals aiming to walk further than typically accomplished in a single excursion. Course marshals supply snacks and water, Sportograf captures photos along the route and at the finish, and all finishers are awarded a medal. Upon completion, participants are greeted with cheers and a cold beer.
