The next major challenge in aid of industry charity The Light Fund has been confirmed for 2025, taking in the five highest peaks in the UK and Ireland.
The fundraiser is a bold challenge to have mass participation climbing Mount Snowdon, approx. 70 people taking on the 3 Peaks Challenge and ideally a minimum of 24 people taking on the gruelling 5 Peaks Challenge. The 3 Peaks Challenge should be completed within 24 hours and the 5 Peaks Challenge within 72 hours.
The 3 Peaks Challenge covers the three highest peaks in the UK – tackling Snowdon, Scafell Pike & Ben Nevis. The challenge covers 42kms and involves 3,064 metres of ascent.
The 5 Peaks Challenge, meanwhile, covers the five highest peaks in the UK & Ireland – tackling Snowdon, Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis, Slieve Donard and finish on the summit of Carrauntoohil. The challenge covers 64kms and involves +5,300 metres of ascent.
There will also be the opportunity to take on one peak – Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales.
The challenge will be attempted with a well established and family run business – Adventurous Ewe – and will take place from 24-28 September 2025.
For further details on the challenge – and to express your interest in taking part – you can contact Ashley Holman or Mark Kingston by clicking on their respective names. Places must be confirmed by 31 August 2024.
