Date: Saturday 18th July 2027
Take part in the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge!
Take on this iconic bucket list challenge of climbing the three highest peaks in Yorkshire: Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park.
The aim is to complete the challenge in 12 hours, taking in over 5,200ft of ascent and descent over a distance of roughly 24.5miles.
It won't be a 'walk in the park', but, as you trek along, you'll enjoy incredible sights as you take in the stunning Yorkshire Dales and Pennines scenery. You can expect to see some amazing panoramic views from the summits over the Dales and on a clear day even to as far away as Morecambe Bay, the Lake District and more!
You'll join other Shine walkers on this amazing trek and be supported by qualified, first aid trained mountain leaders and marshals provided by our partner Overlimits.
As an added bonus, take part in a training walk in the Yorkshire Dales in April or May for free!
If this challenge sounds a bit too much, contact us about the possibility of taking on a much more leisurely One Peak event, climbing just Ingleborough.

"The Yorkshire 3 Peaks is one of the most mentally and physically rewarding challenges myself and my husband have done!
You push yourself to new limits and have so much fun at the same time! We came away with the bug to complete new heights!
The views are stunning and the atmosphere is inspiring!
We enjoyed it so much that we've now completed it twice!"

"The best bit (of the trek) was getting to do the challenge with my best friend.
I’d been so wrapped up in the preparation, training and making sure I had the right equipment that I didn’t realise that we would also get to have the most amazing time together. I’ve got such special memories that I’ll never forget.
I’ll also never forget how I felt when I thought I was struggling. You look around and you’re with people who have been helped by Shine, and that somehow gives you extra energy and motivation to keep going."
