An action packed challenge for teams of four
The train will depart from Crewe on Thursday evening and travel to Snowdon, which we will climb overnight. We will then head for Ravenglass to climb Scafell Pike, before a night on the train up to Fort William to climb the UK’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis. It’s then time for a well-deserved glass of bubbly on the journey home when the party begins!
Enjoy the beautiful views as we travel through the beautiful Scottish Highlands and bask in the glory of having completed an amazing personal challenge.
This challenge is for teams of four. The registration fee and minimum sponsorship pledge are per team.
Some people estimate this is probably the equivalent of three half marathons on quite difficult terrain and of course there is little prospect of much sleep during the event. You will spend the first night climbing Snowdon and the second night sitting up on a train. We recommend you try to grab a few hours whenever you can!

Onboard services
You will be provided with all meals on board the train as well as a plentiful supply of water for the mountains and lots of snacks!
First aiders will be available to help out with any minor problems. There will also be doctors on board for the more serious ailments. For your physical and mental well-being we will be accompanied by masseuses who will, for a small charge, provide sports massages.
What’s included
– Transportation on the train between the mountains and transportation to the mountains
– Communications support on the mountains
– Three Peaks By Rail 2024 T-shirt and challenge medal
– Complimentary rail passes will be provided on request
Please note: personal injury insurance, hiking equipment, sleeping bags / pillows are not included and you will need to bring these with you.
