Three Peaks Challenges The Three Peaks Challenge is the most popular mountaineering event in the UK attracting thousands of entrants in increasing numbers every year. 3 Peaks Challenges provide our clients with a range of team building and charity fundraising events based around the National 24 Hour 3 Peaks Challenge.
We attain exceptionally high success rates; however, we DO NOT run 'open' events due to invariable fitness issues with a mixed group. We work only with privately formed teams and our minimum group size is 8 persons. Unfortunately, we cannot organise events for less than our minimum group size.
ECO-FRIENDLY CHALLENGES
We have launched a new website including 24 challenges and 17 brand new events.
Although the National 3 Peaks Challenge is increasingly popular; unfortunately, the Lake District does not derive any tangible financial benefit from this event. There is also an increasing body of opinion that the 3 Peaks has a detrimental effect in Wasdale Valley especially during the peak summer months. So why not come to the Lake District National Park and enjoy a great weekend - at the same time putting something back into the local community - guest houses, pubs, restaurants and food suppliers all benefit and your business is most welcome...!

Open 3 Peaks Challenges - Beware!
Over a 3 year period we organised 'Open' 3 Peak Challenges and most events were problematic due to variation in fitness levels and objectives within the group. From an organiser's perspective it is an impossible task managing the expectations of everyone on an open event when invariably there is considerable fitness variation from one individual to another - and as a result we do not offer open 3 peaks events.
Therefore our advice is to recruit your own team ensuring team members are of a similar fitness level which will maximise your enjoyment and chance of success...!

Option 1
- 24 Hour Challenge / Ascent and Descent – climb and return to vehicle on all 3 peaks within the 24 hours, includes all eating, toilet stops and driving time. There’s no time to waste with this one so make sure you’ve done your training!
Option 2
- 14 Hour Challenge – Get judged on the walking part of the challenge only. The time will be counted for each peak as you set off walking and stopped once you finish each descent. This then allows for 10 hours of driving time between the peaks but does not take into account any unforeseen delays such as traffic congestion or road accidents.
