About the race
BAMM (Björkliden Arctic Mountain Marathon) is a two-day mountain navigation event held around Riksgränsen. Teams of two navigate with map and compass through untracked Arctic mountain terrain, taking controls across fjäll, valleys and glacier-near landscapes. The event is presented by OMM as title sponsor.
Competition classes are:
- BAMM 30 - organiser transports tent and sleeping bags to the night camp
- BAMM 50 - teams carry all required gear for two days and one night
- BAMM 70 - teams carry all required gear for two days and one night
Before the first day start, teams receive maps and plan route choices; all classes have a common start. After completing day 1 teams reach a shared night camp and sleep in a large tent camp. Day 2 uses a pursuit start where leading teams start first and following teams start according to day 1 results; teams more than one hour behind start together before the pursuit start. The race concludes in Riksgränsen where facilities for washing and sauna are available, followed by an evening prizegiving and dinner.
Additional event information covers practical matters such as accommodation, travel, equipment rental, transfers, entry details, safety and rules. Organisers provide separate guidance on which class suits different participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
