We’re thrilled to announce the return of the Wiltshire 3 Peaks Challenge, sponsored by Beard Construction. Taking place on Saturday 21 June, this unique challenge invites participants to walk, run or jog Wiltshire’s most iconic hills – all while raising vital funds to help our young people build resilience, confidence and hope for the future.
Date: Saturday 21st June 2025
Location: Oare, Pewsey, Wiltshire, UK
Challenge: Run, walk or jog 10 km or a Half Marathon in Wiltshire’s most iconic hills.
Jamie Harwood, Director at Beard Construction Ltd, Swindon says: “For Beard, it is not only about sponsorship but also about a meaningful shared purpose – supporting the next generation with heart and ambition.”
Last year’s Wiltshire 3 Peaks Challenge saw an incredible 155 people lace up their boots and take on the hills, raising an outstanding £15,723 in support of vulnerable young people. That total was enough to fund 12 young people through a whole year on the Youth Adventure Programme.
2025’s adventure will see participants conquering the three iconic peaks of Wiltshire: Martinsell Hill, Milk Hill and Walkers Hill by taking on either a 10km or Half Marathon distance. Participants can expect a mix of challenging climbs and breathtaking views, all while helping the young people we work with.
Mark Davey, our Chief Executive says: “The Wiltshire 3 Peaks Challenge is a brilliant way for people to come together, enjoy the outdoors, and directly support local young people who are facing real challenges in their lives. Thanks to the generosity of supporters and sponsors like Beard Construction, every step taken on the hills helps fund life-changing experiences – from adventure camps to one-to-one mentoring – that give young people the resilience and confidence to thrive.”
Registration for the Wiltshire 3 Peaks Challenge is now open for friends, families, colleagues, and individuals to sign up and come together, challenge themselves, and make a lasting difference in Wiltshire.

“I was really shy at first but now I’m happy to express my emotions, make a joke, laugh about it, talk about it, be happy and feel like I’m somewhere I belong. I think YAT has definitely taught me a lot of valuable life skills I can use in the future.” – Young Person, Youth Adventure Programme
