Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge 2022: Where are the walking routes, when are the events and how can I book?

The Yorkshire Peaks Challenge begins in April this year - here is everything you need to know about the walking routes and how to book.

The organisers at National Three Peak Challenge run events based in Yorkshire between April and October every year, where participants can choose to raise money for a charity of their choice.

You can book individually or in a group of any size and usually entrants walk in groups of around 10 with a mountain guide each to help navigate as required.
