OMM – The Original Mountain Marathon

OMM – The Original Mountain Marathon 29th/30th October 2011 Central Scotland

Still the UK’s premier event to test teamwork, self-reliance, endurance, outdoor and navigational skills. The reputation of the event is worldwide and every year we have entrants from all over the world..

The ethos of the event is to be totally self-reliant, in the wilds, carrying all equipment, no outside support and without GPS or cell phone. Your first source of help is your partner and if you retire you are responsible for getting yourselves back to base. Any teams not arriving at the overnight camp are assumed to have camped safely. In these days of 24/7 contact and total support this is an event to test and indeed help develop teamwork and self-reliance.

NB. Successful completion of an approved OMM training course is considered sufficient to fulfil the minimum terms of the 'mountain experience' section of an OMM event.
