Is this your course?

A good starting point for your first OMM, or for teams who want a shorter time allowance. You choose the distance and pace, but you’ll still need map-and-compass skills, mountain fitness and the equipment to camp overnight.

Course questions

How does this format work?

Choose which checkpoints to visit, in any order, and plan your own route between them. Collect the points and return within each day’s time limit. The highest score wins.

What experience do we need?

You don’t need to have raced the OMM before, but both partners should be able to navigate with a map and compass and look after themselves in the hills. Practise with your overnight kit and choose a route that suits you both.

What do we carry?

Carry the clothing, equipment, food and camping kit you need for the full weekend. The mandatory kit list is the minimum requirement; choose additional kit to suit the conditions.
Read the kit guidance

How does the overnight camp work?

Day 1 finishes at the overnight camp, where you use the equipment and food you have carried. Day 2 brings new checkpoints and route choices before you return to the event centre.
