The Three Peaks Race, often called the 'marathon with mountains', is the longest standing 'long' fell race in the UK. At a length of over 23 miles, and with over 5,000 feet of ascent, it is an iconic part of the fell and mountain running calendar. From a field of just six entrants in 1954, it has grown to the point that there are entry requirements to be met, and it now attracts up to 1,000 entrants each year to this iconic Yorkshire event.
