A thank you - from Lowe Alpine

An event the size and scale of the LAMM takes a huge amount of effort from all those who organise and assist in its running, from organiser to marshals. Jill Brownell from Lowe Alpine makes sure that they are thanked...

The full story of Sunday's action, including stories about the winners and losers.....and anyone who may still be lost!!......

 

A welcome repeat

Competitors filtering into mid camp

Competitors are now filtering in to mid camp seeking a well earned rest and the opportunity to share their tales of the day...

 

The race is well underway

With competitors safely away from the camp and heading for the hills, speculation starts as to who will lead at mid camp...

 

Ready for the off

There was an air of expectation in the camp before the off this morning, as well as delight that the Swiss team had managed to make it after all! They even beat the coach from Glasgow to the camp....

 

Sweet like Swiss Chocolate

After all the speculation, the Swiss team finally arrived at camp on Friday night. Now to get ready for those hills.....

 

Not for the Squeamish

The Elite Contenders

The toughest course on the LAMM is the elite course - covering 56km of gruelling terrain, the only way to win is to try and keep running the whole way for 2 days. It takes a special breed of athelete to even complete such a course, to be challenging for victory makes you one of the best there is. We introduce you to some of the favoured contenders...

 

High Tech in the Hills

Organising, running and reporting on LAMM Glen Shiel 2000 is made all the easier by technology, though still a long way from being an easy undertaking! Technology can even make life easier for the competitors too, though don't tell them we said that, especially on Sunday afternoon.....

 

The Venue

A Mountain Marathon is only as good as its terrain and this year the organising team have surpassed themselves. Its so good, in fact, that those going all out for a win will have to have even greater levels of willpower just to stop themselves losing time by stopping to look at the view. This really is a stunningly beautiful area and will be familiar to many of you, as TV series "Hamish Macbeth" was filmed just up the road in Plockton...
