24 Peaks in 24 Hours
Could you climb 24 Lake District mountains in just 24 hours?
Set against the dramatic Lake District backdrop, the 24 Peaks in 24 Hours Challenge is an unforgettable test of teamwork, determination, and endurance.
We log two 12 hour days, with an overnight rest, in order to complete this sustainable yet sturdy challenge. Taking on the iconic Lake District fells, teams will be pushing their limits, supporting each other through every climb, and experiencing the morale that is built from achieving something extraordinary together.
Event Summary
The Lake District is one of the most beautiful area of natural beauty in the UK. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is filled with breath taking mountains and valleys.
