About

The annual Cheltenham's Three Peaks Challenge takes place every June. 

The 22 mile walk which starts at their Charity 'HQ' in Lansdown Parade, provides you with the opportunity to take part in an exhausting but exhilarating adventure through Gloucestershire's most picturesque landscapes whilst tackling the three tallest peaks in the county; Crickley, Leckhampton and Cleeve hill!

This event raises vital funds for the Aim Up charity, and provides their team with the opportunity to meet new people and share their charity story.

Cheltenham's Three Peaks Challenge started in 2018, with just 40 walkers (mostly members of staff) tackling a route which covered Crickley, Leckhampton and Cleeve Hills. Following their positive feedback, the charity decided to open the challenge up to others, by introducing a self-guided option in 2019. Since then, the event has grown and grown.

 

What can you expect from Cheltenham's Three Peaks Challenge?

- An ordnance survey link which will show you the fully recced 22 mile route

- A3 map/ route outline, instructions and emergency contact details.

- Along the route there will be markers to guide you, and checkpoint volunteers will be able to point you in the right direction.

- Five checkpoints to provide you with the opportunity to fill up water bottles and use the loo​​​.
