UWFRA Wharfedale 3 Peaks Challenge
The Wharfedale Three Peaks Challenge is organised by the Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association and takes place in and around Kettlewell village in the Yorkshire Dales on 27 June 2026. The event is an annual fundraiser; proceeds support the operational costs of the local mountain rescue team.
There are three routes, all starting and finishing in Kettlewell. Participants can choose between longer fell routes that include upland ascents or a shorter valley family walk. Entry fees include parking and a meal with hot drinks; additional refreshments and a cake stall will be available on the field with proceeds to the rescue team. Dogs are permitted only on the valley walk.
Courses:
- Three Peaks route, 17 miles / 3800 ft, Firth Fell, Buckden Pike, Great Whernside
- Two Peaks route, 13.5 miles / 2500 ft, Buckden Pike and Great Whernside
- Family Walk, 4.5 miles / 300 ft, follows the Dalesway and Paradise Walk
Entry fees listed for advance entries are: £25 for the Three Peaks and Two Peaks routes, £10 for the adult valley walk, and free for children on the valley walk when accompanied by an adult. GPX files and route descriptions are provided for each course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
