National 3 Peaks in 24 hours!
About this event
The National Three Peaks (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon) are the highest mountains in Scotland, England, and Wales. Our challenge is to summit these three peaks, within 24 hours!
The peaks are tackled in the following order: Ben Nevis (Scotland), Scafell Pike (England), and Snowdon (Wales).
We travel to Fort William on Friday where we enjoy an overnight stay. We start with Ben Nevis on Saturday morning, then climb Scafell Pike through the night, and finish with Snowdon in the early hours of Sunday. This is a physically demanding challenge, and we recommend participants engage in regular exercise to prepare.
Upon signing up, you’ll receive a comprehensive PDF packed with all the event details, training plans, and essential information you need to prepare for this incredible adventure. This guide ensures you’re fully equipped and ready to make the most of your National 3 Peaks experience.
