The Saunders Lakeland Mountain Marathon (SLMM) is a two-day mountain navigation event open to teams of two. Teams navigate between checkpoints, visiting them in the order given (with the exception of solo Klets competitors). The first day finishes at a mid-way campsite. Competitors must carry the lightweight camping and safety equipment listed in the rules. Competitors need to be competent in the use of map and compass in the mountains. Many checkpoints require accurate navigation, especially in misty conditions.

2008 Entry Details

Entries are now full for the 30th Saunders Lakeland Mountain Marathon which will be held over the weekend of the 5th / 6th July 2008. This year for the first time we will be using the SPORTident online entries system rather than the manual system we have used in the past. Using this system will reduce our workload and will allow you as competitors to get immediate acknowledgment that your entry has been accepted. This system will also allow you to amend your entry should it be necessary to do so before the event.

The entry fee for the 2008 event is £32.50 per competitor; i.e. £65.00 for a team of 2.

A limit on the total number of entries has been set in accordance with the wishes of landowners and environmental organisations. This limit has now been reached so we are unable to accept any new entries. Please go to the following links to amend your entry or to view the entry lists:

The exact event location, final details, and start times will be published on this web site at the beginning of June. It has been a tradition of the Saunders to provide a Final Details and Results booklet for each event. However as this information will also be available on the website these booklets will only be sent out to teams requesting them by sending in 2 SAE’s to "Robert Saunders, Five Oaks Lane, Chigwell, Essex, IG7 4QP". Please write your team number (automatically allocated when you enter) on the back of each envelope.

Event tee-shirts can be pre-ordered by downloading an order form.
