To conquer the Welsh 3000s challenge, you must complete the 15 highest mountains in Wales (all over 3000ft) in just one weekend.

The route is approximately 24 miles, but including walking to the start point and down from the finish, the total distance covered reaches more than 30 miles.

To keep in with our ethos of mass participation and our priority to complete the challenge rather than break any records or bones, we have purposely split the challenge into two days rather than 24 hours. This allows participants to have a night’s rest and sleep in between. People who still wish to complete the challenge in 24 hours can simply combine their own mountain times to achieve the mighty target.

This is the toughest trekking challenge we organise and therefore highly recommend completing one of our other mountain challenges before attempting the mighty 3000s.
