Do you have what it takes?
From 4th-6th June 2027, take on the National 3 Peaks Challenge, summiting Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon one after another. Considered one of Britain’s toughest challenges, you will trek around 26 miles, ascending a total of 3000m, aiming to complete in 24 hours (not guaranteed).

National Three Peaks FAQs
Yes, the more the merrier! However, each person will need to sign up separately and reach their own individual fundraising goal.
There is no guarantee that you will be able to complete the challenge within 24 hours. This is dependent on weather, transport, traffic and ability levels. We will aim for 24 hours if everyone in the group is able, however not at the detriment of drivers or the environment, so this cannot be guaranteed. For more information see here.
We will be there to support you every step of the way, sending your resources and helpful hints on how to make the most of your fundraising.
Transport is not included to the start of the challenge. You must make your own way to Chester Train Station where the Charity Challenge team will meet you to take you to the start of the first mountain.
Accommodation after you have completed the challenge is not included. If you would like to stay in/around Chester for an extra night, please make your own arrangements.
You will need to provide your own kit for this challenge. See the Kit List for more details.
