Yes, the National Three Peaks takes you to the three highest peaks in the UK — Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in Cumbria and Snowdon in Wales.

We have two pricing options for this challenge.
Our 'Minimum sponsorship' option has a £95 registration fee and a £935 minimum fundraising target, 80% of which needs to be raised 12 weeks before the event. With this option, the cost of the trip is covered by your fundraising.
Our 'Self-fund' option has a £95 registration fee and a £460 fee to cover the cost of your challenge, but it doesn't have minimum fundraising target.
This event takes place over three days and will involve trekking for around 18 hours during the challenge.
You'll cover over 26 miles of undulating terrain. Over a full marathon distance, but with three hills! You'll ascend a total of 3000m in a single day. Almost the same amount of ascent as summiting Kilimanjaro! You'll summit the three highest mountains in the UK, Ben Nevis (1344m) Scafell Pike (977m) and Snowdon (1085m)
