Organising Your Own Yorkshire Three Peaks
Walking team
We recommend organising a group of between four and fifty walkers.
If you don't have a group of four or more, we recommend taking part in an organised event, which you can sign up to as an individual or a group.
Optional registration
Registration provides guidance on organising a safe and responsible challenge, as well as recording your challenge online, and promoting any fundraising. Certificates of completion are included.
Registration costs £6 per person, and is available online at threepeakschallenge.org.uk.
Accommodation
The Challenge takes a full day, so we recommend staying locally before and after. There is limited accommodation available and it books up well in advance, so we advise booking very early.
To help you choose where you stay, please see our
Yorkshire Three Peaks accommodation
recommendations.
Support car
Transport isn't required during the challenge itself, as the route starts and finishes in the same place, but it is sensible to arrange for a vehicle to provide support during the walk. This provides a safe means for group members to retire from the walk midway, and can provide refreshments.
Kit
Make sure that each group member has all appropriate kit for taking part in the Challenge.
Training plan
Write out a sensible training plan for your group, to ensure that everyone is at a suitable level of fitness when taking part.
This can also be used as an opportunity to try out new kit.
Food and drink
Food is worth planning well. Ideally you don't want to eat junk food from service
stations - it'll cost loads more, and it's not going to give you as much
long lasting energy as some healthy snacks. Go for wholegrain and wholemeal foods,
as these carbohydrates provide energy for longer.
