LAMM 2007 Climate Saving Contribution - More than £1100 So Far
So far, we're delighted that 480 teams and the LAMM have so far contributed £1100 to our Climate Saving Contribution Fund. When your travel arrangements are finalised there is still the opportunity to update your team details on the Team Changes page at www.lamm.co.uk and to make a Climate Saving Contribution. An even better way to help is wherever possible to share transport to events such as the LAMM. Please try to make better use of the Share Car Hire and Lifts to the Event facilities at www.lamm.co.uk.

planetFear Mountain Marathon Championships
This is a new national championship comprising the leading Mountain Marathon events in the UK. If you are serious about the sport you will want to be part of the series. Each of the events in the series is slightly different so by taking part you can see how you compare over the 5 events of the series. You'll need to be able to cope with the rough terrain and bigger hills of the connoisseurs marathon – the LAMM, the Lowe Alpine Mourne Mountain Marathon, the rain and gales of the OMM, the solo navigational challenge of the Saunders Klets and the GL3D. For more details and to register for the series visit www.runfurther.com.
