OMM Lite

OMM Lite Trail Quest - Team (Lake District Running Festival)

The event takes place in Grasmere on 30th-31st May 2026. Competitors can enter as individuals or in teams of two or three; teams must stay within talking distance. The course has 30 checkpoints placed around the valley. Each team is given a map showing checkpoint locations and point values; the aim is to visit as many checkpoints as possible and return to headquarters before the time limit. Checkpoints are marked with two-letter codes and circle symbols.

Maps will use Harveys 1:25000. Each checkpoint has an orienteering orange and white sign with a control box. Competitors register a visit by placing their timing tag into the control box; the box will bleep and flash to confirm registration. If a control box fails, competitors should note the three letters on the box or take a photo and report it at download so the score can be updated.
