Back by popular demand! The Wiltshire 3 Peaks Challenge is returning – a popular local event open to all, set right in the heart of where our work takes place.

Choose from three options tailored to all fitness levels – tackle the family-friendly 10km, challenge yourself with the Half Marathon, or go all out for the full Marathon. All are available to walk, jog or run. We are currently putting the finishing touches together behind the scenes before releasing full event details, but you can be the first to know by registering your interest below.

With both self-funded and fundraising options available, every entry fee and fundraising total goes directly to the Youth Adventure Trust. Your support helps empower vulnerable 11-16-year-olds through outdoor adventure programmes, giving them the confidence, resilience, and life skills to face challenges in their lives.

Fundraising Questions

What is the difference between the standard and fundraising entry?

The Fundraising Entry option has a lower upfront cost but requires you to commit to raising a minimum sponsorship target. The Self-Funded Entry has a higher fee but has no fundraising obligation.

How do the funds I raise help vulnerable young lives?

Every kilometre you conquer directly supports our work, funding essential outdoor adventure activities such as camps on our Adventure Programme, providing young people with the life-changing experience they need to build confidence and resilience.
