BAMM 2024: A Year We Will Never Forget
What began as a celebration of adventure, camaraderie, and the beauty of the Riksgränsen mountains turned into a moment of unimaginable sorrow. The competition started like any other—filled with joy, laughter, and the excitement of participants embracing the challenge.
But on Friday evening, everything changed. A tragic accident claimed the life of one of our participants. The joy we had shared was replaced by deep sadness and heartbreak.
Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the family and loved ones of the deceased. Words cannot fully express the grief we feel alongside them in this devastating time.
BAMM 2024 will forever be etched in our hearts, not only as a reminder of the adventure but of the fragility of life itself.

About the competition
Choose from classes 30, 50 and 70 with orienteering over two days and an overnight stay in the mountains.
Participants competing in the 50 and 70 classes carry all their own equipment to cope with two tough days and one night in the mountains. The exception is BAMM 30, where the organiser transports tents and sleeping bags to the overnight camp. Participants in BAMM 30 will therefore have a slightly lighter backpack to run with.
On Friday morning before the start, teams will receive maps and courses (30, 50 and 70) and can start planning their routes. Then there is a joint start for everyone. After the checkpoints are taken, the teams arrive at the night camp where everyone stays in a large tent camp.
On day 2, the start will be a chase start for the best teams, with the leading team starting first and then the following teams starting according to the results of day 1. Teams more than thirty minutes behind start together before the chase start. The finish line is in Riksgränsen where showers, sauna and mingle await.
