This iconic UK challenge needs no introduction! Taking us to the top of Scotland, England and Wales’ highest peaks, the Three Peaks Trek is on many adventurers’ bucket lists for good reason. We’ll aim to conquer the mountains in a total trekking time of 15 hours or less (the equivalent of the traditional 24 hour Three Peaks challenge). Climbing around 9,500ft and covering approximately 22 miles along the way, you can expect your boundaries to be pushed – but the feeling of achievement will make all the hard work worth it!
What our participants say:
“We would like to thank global adventure challenges for our fantastic experience doing the 3 peaks challenge! The team were organised, efficient, supportive, motivating and the event was brilliant!
Thanks to the whole team!”

We’ll finish our challenge with a celebratory breakfast in Llanberis, before making our onward journeys home for some much-needed rest!
What our participants say:
“Just come back from the Snowdon at Night challenge, just want to say a massive thanks to all involved who organised, sat in the cold and helped make the event as great as it was. A extra thanks to front leader Dan who I spent most of the evening trek with. A quality night and a great memory!”
