National Three Peaks September 2027

Join us as we climb the highest mountains in the UK - Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon!

We head to Fort William before trekking to the summit of our first and highest peak - Ben Nevis. We then set off for the Lake District to conquer Scafell Pike by night. Our final ascent takes place in Eryri/Snowdonia National Park, where we climb the mighty Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon!

Our target trekking time is 15 hours or less, the equivalent available trekking time for the traditional 24-hour Three Peaks Challenge. There is a maximum available trekking time of 18 hours. We’ll climb around 9,500 feet and walk approximately 22 miles during our adventure -  it’s little wonder the National Three Peaks Challenge is the most iconic trekking challenge in the UK!

Step 1 - To join the challenge you pay a non-refundable registration fee of £95 directly to Global Adventure Challenges and commit to raising the minimum sponsorship of £990 for Cerebral Palsy Cymru.

Step 2 - Start fundraising for Cerebral Palsy Cymru by starting a Just Giving page. Your charity will keep a log of all monies you are sending in.

Step 3 - 80% of your minimum sponsorship must be received by your charity no later than 9 weeks before departure. If you have raised the required amount, your charity would then be in a position to pay the challenge balance, which is never more than 50% of the minimum sponsorship figure.

Step 4 - The remaining 20% of your minimum sponsorship should be sent to your charity no later than 6 weeks following your return after the challenge. Some charities may request you send this 20% to them before the challenge takes place - your charity will guide you further on this.
