Yorkshire 3 Peaks Trail Weekend 2027

Immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of Yorkshire's Dales with Running Adventures' exclusive weekend package, centered around the iconic Three Peaks Challenge. This adventure kicks off and concludes at Horton-in-Ribblesdale, a quaint village located within the picturesque Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Your base for the weekend is the cozy '3 Peaks Bunkroom,' offering comfortable accommodation in rooms of no more than six people with full kitchen facilities. The bunkhouse's prime location on the route makes it an ideal starting and finishing point for your journey through the peaks.
On Saturday, you'll tackle the 24-mile (38.6km) Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, scaling Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough with a total ascent of over 1500 meters (5200 feet). This challenging route combines steady hill climbs with runnable flats and descents, providing an exhilarating mix for trail runners.
For those looking to extend their adventure on Sunday morning, we offer a leisurely 10km loop from the bunkhouse. The scenic run follows parts of Hull #CENSOR# and the Pennine Way before returning to your accommodation.
Throughout the weekend, you'll have ample opportunities to engage with Matt Buck, Running Adventures' expert host. He will provide invaluable guidance on trail running techniques, pacing strategies, and nutritional advice tailored for endurance events.
Given the demanding nature of this challenge—featuring rugged terrain and significant elevation changes—it's essential that participants are well-prepared. To join us, it is recommended to have completed a marathon or an ultra-distance run within six months prior to the event date. While you don't need to be a seasoned trail runner, maintaining a steady pace of 10 minutes per mile (6:15 min/km) on flat and downhill sections will ensure your safety and enjoyment.
If traveling solo, rest assured that many participants join us independently, making it an excellent opportunity for meeting new friends who share your passion for the outdoors. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions before signing up; we're here to help!
