A FEW GOOD
QUESTIONS.
Do I have to complete all five?
No. Choose a single public challenge, several dates or the whole collection. Each Event is booked separately.
Can our group join a public date?
Yes. Choose your date and book places for your group, subject to current availability. If you’d like help coordinating everyone, contact the team.
How fit do I need to be?
These are sustained mountain walking challenges, with climbs, descents and uneven terrain. Read the route information for your chosen Event and speak to us about suitability before booking if you’re unsure. Our training guide can help you prepare.
What is included in my place?
Your selected Event page gives its package, itinerary and joining information. Check that page before booking, including any travel, accommodation or equipment you need to arrange yourself.
What happens if the weather changes?
The Event team may adapt the route, pace or operating plan because of weather, access or participant welfare. Safety takes priority. Read the booking terms for cancellation and other conditions.
Is this the National Three Peaks?
No. This collection consists of five separate regional Three Peaks challenges. For the Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa format, explore our National Three Peaks challenge.
Five regions. One shared ambition.
A SERIES
