We suggest you bring the following: • Well-worn in walking boots or fell running shoes. • Full waterproofs, with spares if you have them. • At least one change of clothes in case you get wet on one of the peaks. • 25-35 litre rucksack. • Head torch. • Waterbottle.

How fit will I need to be?
This challenge is both a mental and physical challenge. You will need to train beforehand and it is unrealistic to expect to complete the challenge without some training. If you have a health condition you should consult your doctor before taking part.

What training will I need to do?
You will need to train beforehand, ideally completing at least one test weekend of walking around eight hours per day for two days.

What happens if I need to withdraw from the event?
If you are unable to continue with the challenge for any reason, you will have to stay on the support bus or make your own way home. We would be able to drop you at a service station on route if you are based in the North.

How do I set a fundraising page up?
When you sign up for the Regain 3 Peaks Challenge, an online fundraising page will automatically be created for you.
how will it work
The Regain support team will pick you up early on Sunday morning (we have two pick up points in Oxford and Stoke-on-Trent) and will drive you up to Fort William in Scotland. We will start the Ben Nevis climb at 6pm in the evening and will expect to be off the mountain by midnight. We will then drive down to the Lake District to climb Scafell Pike. We would expect to start the climb at 6am and be off the mountain by 10am before driving to North Wales to start the final peak Snowdon by 2pm, aiming to finish before our 24 hour cut off time of 6pm.
To take part in the challenge you need to pay a registration fee of £99 and pledge to raise a minimum of £300 for the charity. All funds raised from the day will support Regain, the only charity dedicated to improving the lives of people who have become tetraplegic in a sporting accident.
