Original Mountain Marathon | A Course - Day 2

The OMM’s ethos of taking responsibility for your actions in our wild spaces continues to be passed down the generations. The OMM was founded by top orienteer, Gerry Charnley; who, along with his fell running and mountaineering buddies, wanted to create the ultimate test of mountaincraft. Covering everything from navigation and kit selection to strength and fitness, the OMM remains the greatest challenge in the mountain running calendar. The event format is largely unchanged since those early days, with a map still being passed to competitors on the startline and a remote wild camp ensuring a full weekend adventure. Many of our competitors have racked up 20, 30 or even 40+ OMMs and still return year after year for another 36hrs of quality time in the hills with friends.
