The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, usually in this order, and in under 12 hours. These peaks form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

How to take part in the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge?

You can complete the Challenge either as part of an organised event, or as a self organised group. We have organised dates available each year, and we can also arrange private events for large groups.
