National Three Peak Challenge
Take on the iconic Three Peaks Challenge and tackle the three highest mountains in the UK.
Ready for an adventure through the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales? Considered one of Britain’s toughest outdoor challenges, the National 3 Peaks Challenge includes Ben Nevis (1,344m), Scafell Pike (978m) and Snowdon (1,085m).
There are two ways to take on the National Three Peaks. On a guided challenge, you'll have experienced mountain leaders, transport between peaks, and support throughout the night - letting you focus on the walking. Alternatively, you can plan your own challenge with your own team and vehicles.
Buy Your Place
While we don't offer charity places for this challenge, you're very welcome to take part by securing your own place. This gives you the flexibility to complete the challenge while supporting Neuroblastoma UK in a way that works for you.
There is no minimum fundraising target, so every pound you raise will help make a difference. The cost to book your place is £490 per person, which you'll need to cover yourself.
