	Grandfather Mountain Marathon - Race Details
		It seems to me that this marathon has the 'feel' of a trail marathon even though almost every step is on the roads.
		It is advertised as a challenging marathon, and it is. Challenging means hills, sufficient but not excessive aid stations, and little fan support.
		The Grandfather Mountain Marathon in my opinion is one of the finest marathons in the country.

		Yes we were the KIMM, now welcome to OMM – the Original Mountain Marathon company, makers of lightweight equipment and clothing inspired by The Original Mountain Marathon, since 1968 the forerunner of all adventure racing.
		The formula remains a challenging 2-day Mountain event (the Elite course being 2 sequential marathon lengths) where a team of two navigate their way around a 2-day course, in mountainous terrain, in a new location each year, carrying all food stove tent and equipment for an overnight camp.
		The Original Mountain Marathon - OMM reflects the fact that the event has been going on since 1968 and many see the event as the fore-runner of all adventure racing.

	Adidas Marathon
		In these days of the Boa no-lace system and multiple ratchets, I look at a mountain bike shoe with three simple Velcro straps and think of one, inevitable scenario: those very same straps flapping around uselessly after a slurry of mud and puddles render them impotent as a means of closure.
		Lacking a carbon sole, the Marathon is meant as a choice for all-day rides.
		Its polyamide sole is reinforced with fiberglass, stiff but not in the same league as the new generation of mountain bike race shoes that feel like road shoes with lugged soles glued on.

		True mountain marathon weather greeted LAMM competitors on arrival at Inchnadamph on Friday afternoon: low cloud hanging in tatters over the event centre and a smirr of drizzle blowing off Loch Assynt.

		Yes, not only can you be crazy enough like us to enter the marathon, but the day also offers the 40-mile Mount Mitchell Challenge, a race to the top of the highest peak east of the Rockies and back down again.
		Someone’s wonderful sense of humor thought it would be incredibly fun not to have the course carry on for a nice 13.1 miles uphill then turn around & go back, but rather to send you up a full 15 with a wonderful surprise in store for you on your 11+ mile descent.
		Anyhow, I told her about getting lost & my 10 minute bathroom pit stop & she managed to run with me for a little bit, but then it was time for me to take off unless I wanted to be walking the west of the way down.
