Global Mountain Activity

GMA Triathlon

The GMA Triathlon combines at least three outdoor programmes. A defined number of points must be achieved in each programme to earn an award.

Basic principle

The GMA Triathlon combines several outdoor programmes, for example:

At least three programmes must be used.

Goal

A defined number of points must be achieved in each selected programme.

If the minimum number of points is reached in all three programmes, you receive the Bronze Award.

Further levels

Depending on the number of points achieved, higher award levels are available, for example Silver or Gold.

The exact point requirements are listed in the official rules.

Annual participation

The GMA Triathlon can be completed again every year.

Points are counted separately for each year.

Important for scoring

Activations that should count for the GMA Triathlon must be logged in GMA.

This also applies to outdoor activations that did not take place on a mountain, for example POTA, MOTA, WWFF, WCA, IOTA or Lighthouse.

Other awards

In addition to the Triathlon, GMA offers many other awards.

Examples include awards for German islands, including inland islands, observation towers on mountains, windmills and other outdoor targets.

Tip

Plan your activations so that several programmes can be combined. This helps you collect points for multiple awards faster.
