VSO 24 Peaks Challenge 2010

The worst 24 hours of your life.
(Or, just maybe, the best).

The 24 Peaks Challenge is not for the faint hearted. It is, however, the most exhilarating development in the world of outdoor endurance events. You’ll trek through the heart of the world-famous Lake District, conquering 24 peaks, each over 2,400 feet, in 24 hours.

The course is 32.5 miles long and includes Scafell Pike, the highest peak in England. Over two days (your goal is 14 hours on Saturday and 10 hours on Sunday) you’ll take in some of the most stunning countryside in Cumbria, including rivers, moorland, farms and forest.

For those teams already registered, please log in in here for all your challenge information.

The ultimate corporate team-building exercise

If you’re looking for a corporate outing to weld your team into a well-oiled machine, this is it. The intensity of the weekend forges a strong camaraderie between participants, and helps them appreciate each other’s strengths.

Who is it aimed at?

The course demands mental toughness as much as it does physical fitness. You’ll need to be fit, but you don’t need to be an elite athlete to take part. We run training weekends to help you make sure you’re prepared.

Registration just £33 per person

The entrance fee for each team is £200. Teams have five members walking plus one support crew, so that works out at just £33 each.
