Pre-Event Support

Once you’ve signed up for our Three Peaks Challenge you won’t be on your own! The team at the Foundation will be in touch regularly to help you every step of the way. From providing tips and resources to boost your fundraising efforts to sharing tailored training guidance, we’re here to ensure you feel fully prepared and supported.

We will hold an information evening in May at The Nest. The date will be communicated to all our participants nearer the time. The evening is a chance to meet our team leaders and other walkers, talk through key information, and gives you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

Event Support

Participants will be divided into sub-teams. Each sub-team will be guided by at least two volunteer team leaders, who will have maps, GPS and radios linking them to the other sub-teams and our support minibuses.

The minibuses will transport you between the peaks and be at each mountain’s start and finish points. The team will prepare hot/cold drinks and snacks for you and transfer your luggage along with supporting any other requests you may have.

What you’ll need to take

Each walker will be provided with a challenge t-shirt. You may need to invest in kit and equipment. We recommend visiting Go Outdoors, as you will be eligible for charity discount on most purchases.

• Walking Boots – if new, these will need to be worn in
• Good socks – we recommend a new pair for each mountain 
• Rucksack – we recommend day sack size (20 to 30 litres) as you’ll be able to replace items between each mountain
  
• Walking poles – optional, we suggest training with these to make sure you’re comfortable with them
• Water bladder – recommended as they carry more water than a bottle and are easier to use
• Layers – we recommend new base layers at least for each mountain
• Waterproof coat and trousers
• Warm, comfy clothes – for bus rides between mountains 
• Flips flops or sliders 
• Sun cream 
• Gloves
• Sun hat and warm hat 
• Head torch – essential, as you’ll be walking through the night  
• Personal medical equipment 

How to prepare

Sadly, we aren’t blessed with mountains in Norfolk, so the best training is to do mid/long distance walks. We recommend 5-to-6-hour walks, to mirror the time spent on each mountain.

We encourage our participants to go on group walks prior to the challenge to get to know each other.

We will also provide you with some training plans and walks to get you started. If you have any questions regarding this, feel free to email our fundraising team, and we’ll do our very best to support you!
