National Three Peaks Challenge

Location: England, Scotland and Wales

Date: 2 June 2023

Time: 8:00 am to 11:00 pm

National Three Peaks Challenge

Take on the 3 highest mountains in the UK. Be one of the first hikers of the day to take on Ben Nevis.
Tackle Scafell Pike at night. Finish your challenge on Wales's infamous peak, Snowdon.

Aim to summit all three peaks in 24hrs!

Brace yourself for a fast-paced and physically challenging adventure, as you take on the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales. Considered one of Britain’s toughest outdoor challenges, the National 3 Peaks Challenge takes in the dizzy heights of Ben Nevis (1,344m), Scafell Pike (978m) and Snowdon (1,085m).

Over the course of two days, you will trek around 26 miles and ascend to a total height of almost 3,000m. This is a serious and tough challenge which requires a good level of fitness, as well as plenty of grit and determination. Ultimately, however, your hard work will be rewarded with spectacular views and a huge sense of achievement.

Please Note: We have listened to recent criticism regarding the impact that 24 Hour National 3 Peak challenges were having on the local areas. Our itinerary is designed to minimise these negative impacts. Whilst we aim to complete this challenge as fast as possible we will not do so to the detriment of local communities that this challenge passes through or with any reduction in the safety of the challenge. Please read our specific National 3 Peaks Responsible Tourism policy for more information.
