Welsh 3000 Challenge (14 Peaks)
Capel Curig, United Kingdom • 18-19 Jul 2026
Welsh 3000 Challenge (14 Peaks)
The Welsh 3000 Challenge climbs all 14 peaks officially recognised as being over 3000 feet in Snowdonia in a continuous route starting from Pen Y Pass near Capel Curig. Highlights along the way include summiting Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), the knife edged ridge of Crib Goch, and scrambling on the Glyders and Tryfan.
The organiser offers two formats on Saturday 18 July 2026: a guided 20 hour challenge and a two day guided option (18 July to 19 July 2026). Entries open 30 July 2025 and close 12 July 2026. Entry fees are £299 for the 20 hour challenge and £399 for the two day challenge. A two part instalment option is available with a 50 percent payment on entry and the remaining 50 percent due by 23 May 2026. Entry requires a SiEntries account.
The route is about 50 km with close to 4000 m of ascent and includes exposed scrambling sections. The Crib Goch ridge is only undertaken in good weather and can be avoided by anyone who prefers an alternative line. Previous hill walking experience is recommended.
Guiding and safety features include a low staff to participant ratio (1 to 4), qualified Mountain Leaders and Mountaineering Instructors, experienced run leaders, three refuelling points with food and drink, a support team following the route, and transport back to the start. Places are limited due to terrain and supervision requirements. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
