Lowe Alpine Mountain Marathon (LAMM)
Length: 0 miles
Location: Scottish Highlands
The LAMM is a 2-day mountain orienteering event that takes place each year in the Scottish Highlands. The emphasis is always on challenging routes in classic high mountain country. In 2011, the event was on the Beinn Dearg hills to the east of Ullapool. This year will be a South year for the LAMM. Our planner this year is Angela Mudge, well known to Mountain Marathoners and fell runners alike. Angela has planned a number of LAMMs and she will be backed up by Andy Spenceley, who planned in 2009 and 2010. The emphasis is always on challenging routes in classic high mountain country. The 2012 area is scattered with Munros and Corbetts and we have worked hard to find a site for the Midcamp that allows us to make best use of the area and provide great courses. The Midcamp will be another wild mountain location. Suffice to say, this LAMM bears all the hallmarks of another Connoisseurs Mountain Marathon and we are getting excited about it already! We limit the number of teams to 500 and the event always fills to capacity. The limit ensures that we are able to visit fine venues that might otherwise be impossible to use. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere on Friday night at the Event Centre camping field allows friends to meet up and old acquaintances to be renewed. Meals are available on Friday evening in the marquee and a post event meal is provided by the organisation
We like to make our event exciting and build a sense of anticipation. Apart from providing an approximate travelling time, we keep the venue secret until just before the event so that the area is a surprise to all competitors. We have been known to move 1000 of you up to 40 miles on the Saturday morning to an unexpected start so that you can enjoy the challenge of running over the mountains for two days as you head over the hills to finish back at the Event Centre.
Why not make a date with the LAMM and find out for yourself why many consider it the most enjoyable event of the year. We’ll see you in the Highlands.
Navigation Mountain Trek/Run Entry Fee( GBP ) 80 - 100
