Yorkshire Three Peak Challenge

Take on the Yorkshire Three Peaks for Sailors’ Children’s Society

24 miles. Three iconic peaks. One incredible challenge.

Join Team Sailors and take on one of the UK’s most rewarding walking challenges – the Yorkshire Three Peaks – while raising vital funds to support children and families from seafaring backgrounds facing financial and emotional crisis.

Starting and finishing in the village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale, you’ll take on three of Yorkshire’s best-known peaks Pen-y-Ghent (694m), Whernside (736m) and Ingleborough (723m), with the goal of completing the full 24-mile route within 12 hours.

It’s going to be tough, but you won’t be doing it alone!
