Route information
To complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks, we must successfully summit the mighty Yorkshire mountains of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough.
Trekking these three mountains within 9 hours is not for the faint-hearted but given the right amount of training and a decent level of fitness (and absolutely no faffing), it's a very achievable, exhilarating and although a demanding challenge there is still plenty of time to take in the truly magnificent scenery.
Our passionate and encouraging leaders will be with you ands walking the required pace for the 9-hour effort is achieved without the need to run. You can even enjoy a rest at the checkpoints, taking your time to reset, refuel and use the loo/chaneg your socks and get some refreshements on board, whilst stocking up with goodies for the next leg. Our expereinced team will ensure you experience a safe and enjoyable adventure.
Pen-y-Ghent 694m (2277ft)
Whernside 736m (2415ft)
Ingleborough 723m (2372ft)
There are no charity commitments so you are free to raise money for any charity of your choice, or simply take on Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge for a personal challenge without a minimum fundraising obligation.
