\u00a0WHAT IS „THE OMM“?<\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\n

The OMM is designed to test your abilities in the mountains. Anyone can get up Scafell Pike on a sunny day, but can you make good decisions when the clag comes in, visibility has gone, you\u2019re tired, you\u2019re wet, cold & there\u2019s no paths to follow?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Held at the end of October to guarantee bad weather. To compete you\u2019ll need a team mate, mountain experience & dogged resilience.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

It’s all about decision making, what kit you\u2019ll need, what route to take, how hard to push & what to do when you get lost… which you will.<\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s not easy, at times soul destroying, but the experience is unmissable!<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On the startline you’ll be given a map of your course. You need to plan a route to find your checkpoints finishing at the halfway overnight campsite. To complete the race you need to be self reliant & carry everything you need for the 2 days including the halfway camp. Day 2 you get new checkpoints to find finishing back at the event centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next choose what type of course you want to do..<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

COMPETITION RULES AND CONDUCT<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

In order to conduct the competition on a fair and equal basis for all participants, and ensure safety, it is necessary to apply rules governing a competitor\u2019s conduct, clothing and equipment. These rules, which are set out below will be STRINGENTLY enforced. \u00a0Anyone found to be in breach of these rules will be automatically disqualified from the current event and may be banned from future events.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. THE GOLDEN RULE<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0 once registered, competitors must report to the Event Centre to return their timing tag by 16:30 hours on the Sunday whether they have completed the course or not. \u00a0Without it the team is deemed missing and will be searched for! \u00a0Please note that if you fail to return the tag and tracker before leaving the event area you may be liable for any rescue costs incurred.<\/li>\n
  2. Age Limits<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u2013 Elite Class<\/b>, all competitors must be 18 years old on the date of the competition and at least one of each team must be a minimum of 20 years of age. In other classes A,B and Score courses, all competitors must be a minimum of 16 years on the day of the competition and at least one of each team must be aged 18 years or older.<\/li>\n
  3. Previous Winners<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u2013 Winning teams in each class are not eligible to compete competitively in the same class in future years (this excludes Long Score and Elite).<\/li>\n
  4. Previous Experience<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u2013 A minimum amount of Mountain Experience, navigation and outdoor skills are essential and details of previous experience must be provided on the entry form.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n
  5. Staying Together<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u2013 The event is for teams of two or three (see rule 6) and teams\u00a0must<\/b>\u00a0maintain contact (close enough to communicate by voice) throughout the competition. Both team members must visit the control sites together carrying all their equipment. i.e. the team must be in possession of both rucksacks at all times. If one member of the team cannot continue the whole team is retired \u2013 The only exception is in the case of an emergency, when competitors must exercise their own mountain judgement as to the appropriate action to take, including but not limited to leaving a partner in a warm safe environment to seek help from others. \u00a0The map provides an emergency telephone number and mobile coverage is available in most of the higher areas.<\/li>\n
  6. Teams of Three.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Teams of three can also compete in the OMM, this allows those that are keen to compete but do not have a team mate to enter in line with our ethos of encouraging as many people as possible to get out and responsibly use our wild spaces. For safety reasons all team members must use one tent on Saturday night ensuring no one is left alone.\u00a0 Contact emma@theomm.com to add a third team member.<\/li>\n
  7. Out of Bounds (OOB)<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u2013 OOB areas and compulsory crossing points are marked on the competition map and\u00a0must<\/b>\u00a0be respected.<\/li>\n
  8. Equipment<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u2013 Teams must carry or wear all the equipment and clothing on the official kit list. This is the absolute\u00a0minimum<\/b>\u00a0for safety and survival. You will be asked to complete an online kit check and safety declaration before arriving at the Event.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  9. Kit Inspection<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u2013 Competitors must permit the examination of their equipment by race officials at all times.<\/li>\n
  10. Emergency Rations<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u2013 On completion of the course all competitors must still be in possession of sufficient rations for an emergency.<\/li>\n
  11. Start Times\/Course Closure Time<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u2013 Start times for both days will be shown on the event details and Saturday and Sunday course will be shown on the map and must be clearly adhered to.

    Entries have now closed. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

    \u00a0<\/h3>\n

    AMENDMENTS TO YOUR ENTRY<\/h3>\n

    ‚Changes to team members can be made right up until the Event. \u00a0 <\/span>Please complete this online amendment form<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0Please note that at this point new team members must also complete online registration (link in ‚registration‘ section below).<\/span><\/p>\n

    Changes to your Course can now only be made when you arrive at Registration (if space allows).<\/p>\n

    CANCELLATION OR DEFERMENT OF ENTRIES<\/b><\/p>\n

    For any cancellations received up to\u00a0 3 months before the event (31 Jul 23<\/span>)<\/strong>, a refund (-10% admin fee) can be made by emailing emma@theomm.com. \u00a0After this date we cannot offer a refund as we have already paid for your attendance. \u00a0The event is run on a not for profit basis and one of the ways of keeping the costs as low as possible is to agree numbers as far in advance of the event as possible, hence why it becomes more expensive to enter as we get closer to the event.\u00a0\u00a0For these reasons we are also unable to defer entries to future events.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    REGISTRATION LOCATION:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Registration will take place between 3pm-10:30pm on Fri and 6-9am on Sat at<\/p>\n

    Bethesda Cricket and Bowling Club<\/a>,
    Parc Villa, Lon Newydd,
    Bethesda LL57 3DT<\/p>\n

    This year Registration is at a different location to the Event HQ.\u00a0 When you arrive in the area all competitors & vehicles should head to Registration at the Cricket Club (see \u2018Registration\u2019 section for more info). \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

    ROUTE TO EVENT HQ:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Once you have registered at the Bethesda Cricket Club you will be asked to follow a specific<\/strong> signposted route to the Event HQ where you will find parking, Friday night camping, food & bar and the OMM shop. \u00a0 Even if your team mate has registered for you, you must still drive to the Cricket Club where you will be directed by our marshals to the Event Centre location.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    The route to the Event HQ is on narrow single-track roads through the village ending in a farm track (approx. 10-15 mins drive).\u00a0 To ensure the minimum of disruption to local traffic please follow the instructions of the volunteer marshals.\u00a0 You may be asked to wait in your car (for a few minutes only) before heading to the Event HQ to ensure smooth traffic flow.<\/span><\/p>\n

    STAYING LOCALLY ON FRIDAY NIGHT?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Please come and register on Friday to save yourself time on Saturday morning. \u00a0Once you have registered, you\u2019re free to head to your comfy bed!\u00a0 Due to the single-track road to the Event HQ, it will not be possible for you to drive to the Event HQ on Friday night as we will be operating a one-way only traffic system. <\/strong>\u00a0 On Saturday morning please head back to the Cricket Club and follow the instructions of the Marshals to get to the Event HQ.\u00a0 We ask that you do not use any other route through the village. \u00a0<\/p>\n

    PARKING:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Parking is on grass and is accessible only along a single-track road\/farm track, because of this we can only allow vehicles with a MAXIMUM length of 5.5m and width of 2m<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 The route to parking is not suitable for vehicles with a low ground clearance and please make sure you know how to reverse your vehicle!\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Once parked, you will not be able to move any vehicle until after the starts on Saturday (unless in an emergency situation). This is due to the one-way traffic system we will have in place on the narrow road\/track<\/p>\n

    As parking space is limited and to ensure minimum disruption to the local community, we need to reduce the number of vehicles arriving at the event and ask for your assistance to achieve this.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Please use car sharing wherever possible – you can offer and search for carshare via the OMM Competitors Facebook Group<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Parking is free if you arrive with a minimum of 2 people per vehicle.\u00a0 Vehicles arriving with only a driver will be charged \u00a35.00. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    ARRIVING VIA PUBLIC TRANSPORT, TAXI OR BEING DROPPED OFF?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Head to registration at the Cricket Club when you arrive in the area and we will arrange a lift for you to the Event HQ.\u00a0 It is not possible for you to be dropped off at the Event HQ due to the one-way traffic system we will have in place. \u00a0 If you are registering and then staying<\/span>\u00a0locally on Friday night, please head back to the Cricket Club on Saturday morning for a lift to the Event HQ\/Start location<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
