Not ‘a walk in the park’, certainly not but a challenge for all of us walkers and runners to tackle Wiltshire’s ‘3 peaks’ – ‘Giant’s Grave’, Martinsell and Huish Hill – in your own time, to your own length (three options) and in your own way – either running, walking or doing it in whatever way is best. And raise funds for the vulnerable young who are supported by Youth Adventure Trust (YAT).
Starting from Oare on Saturday 13 June you will have the challenge of either a 10k run / stroll / walk, a half Marathon or a full Marathon route which take on this area’s most iconic hills. Now in its fourth year YAT’s ‘3 Peaks Challenge’ has already become a popular ‘must do’ in the calendar of many but as well as giving that personal test it has the benefit of helping those in real need. Described by those who’ve taken part before as “a wonderful challenge, wonderful people and for a wonderful cause”, and by others as “great organisation and lovely atmosphere” that allowed them to focus entirely on the challenge at hand.
