Yorkshire Three Peaks Weekend
2026-07-03 00:00 - 2027-09-06 23:30
Yorkshire Three Peaks
3 days
Sept 2025, July and Sept 2026
Get ready for your ultimate challenge and take on the Three Peaks whilst rasing vital funds for Headway Essex.
This region was shaped by glaciers many thousands of years ago, and there are plenty of geological landmarks – striking limestone outcrops and unusual rock formations – to pique our interest as we walk. We will also see the famous Ribblehead Viaduct enroute, part of the scenic Settle to Carlisle railway line. This is an extremely tough event over hilly landscapes; at 24 miles it forms an enormous challenge for walkers.

Headway Essex empowers brain injury survivors, offering them support, guidance, and hope for a brighter future. By taking up this challenge and raising money for Headway Essex, you can help us continue this vital work.
Register today and make every step count!
