The Original Mountain Marathon (formerly the Karrimor International Mountain
Marathon). The original classic mountain marathon. A two-day event
during which teams of two have to navigate their way across mountainous terrain,
carrying everything that they need for the overnight camp. Held towards

The Lowe Alpine Mountain Marathon. A two-day mountain marathon held
somewhere in Scotland each June. The organiser has a reputation
for playing interesting "mind-games" with the competitors. In the
words of the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, "expect the
unexpected". In past events, competitors have been transported to
the start by coach, steam train and ferry.
