Take part in the Breakthrough T1D Yorkshire Three Peaks (Y3P) trek and tackle one of the UK’s most popular challenges.
Starting from Horton-in-Ribblesdale, we will tackle Ingleborough (2,372ft) as the first peak, then Whernside (2,415ft) and Pen-Y-Ghent (2,277ft), finishing back at Horton-in-Ribblesdale.
The trek will take around 12 hours and is of intermediate to advanced level. However, it is perfectly achievable for walkers with a reasonable level of fitness and some determination. Participants will need to be 16 and over.
Breakthrough T1D will be there to support you every step of the way as you push yourself further and achieve something really special, while raising vital funds towards the next type 1 diabetes breakthrough.
The Yorkshire Three Peaks registration fee is £30 for adults and £15 for under-18s. This fee does not include accommodation, travel or main meals.
Minimum sponsorship is £300 per individual.

The route begins with a good leg-loosener as you set out along a fairly easy gradient with the distinctive anvil shape of Ingleborough, the first peak. Snaking your way upwards to reach the summit, which offers panoramic views across the Dales and on to Morecambe Bay and the Lakes.
With peak 1 complete you’ll begin your second ascent to Yorkshire’s Everest – Whernside. This hulk of a climb again provides lovely views. As you descend the reasonably easy slope you’ll be able to see across to the Ribblehead Viaduct, perhaps marvelling at the skills of the engineers and the sheer grit of the 2,000+ workers that built the structure back in the 1800s.
In fact, the viaduct is a half-way milestone before you begin towards the final peak of Pen-y-Ghent. After the summit, there is just a short but steep descent and a final wander across some fields back to Horton-in-Ribblesdale. Finishing your challenge as a Yorkshire Three Peaks champion, and receiving a special medal to celebrate your achievement.
If you have any questions about the challenge, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us by emailing events@breakthrought1d.org.uk.
