Purer Three Peaks
Because of the potential pollution caused by motorised transport between each peak,
more are turning to environmentally friendly versions of the National Three Peaks.
This eliminated the primary inherent problem with the challenge, and adds an additional
level of fitness required.
These purer versions require a significant level of fitness over that of the standard
National Three Peaks, and cannot be attempted without long term organisation and
training.
Cycling
Excluding travel to and from the first peak, cycling between the peaks would cover
around 500 miles. More coming soon...
Running
On August 9th, 1981, a team of five ran the entire route of the Three Peaks as a
relay team. Following several months training, and organisation of local guides,
motorbikes and mini-buses, the team ran an arduous 470 mile route through
assorted terrain, from mountain tracks to city centres.
Their record of 54 hours, 39 minutes stands to this day.
Sailing
All peaks are relatively accessible from the sea, making
Sailing the Three Peaks a fantastic way to complete the Three Peaks Challenge.
