The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge is a walking challenge that involves walking 24 miles over the three highest peaks in Yorkshire: Pen-y-Ghent (691m), Whernside (728m) and Ingleborough (723m) in under 12 hours.
Fitness and Experience:
The challenge is physically demanding and requires a good level of fitness. It is advisable to begin training early outside on hilly terrain several times a week.

Checkpoints:
There will be two checkpoints along the route (at the base of the second and third peaks) where transport will be available back to Horton-in-Ribblesdale.
Refreshments:
Participants are responsible for bringing their own packed lunch. Chocolates, fruit and water will be available at all checkpoints.
