How difficult is the trail, and how fit do I need to be?
The 3 peaks challenge covers approximately 23kms across 3 mountains. With a moderate to high challenge (graded 3.5/4). The 3 walks shorten in distance but increase in difficulty. The way the challenge has been structured will allow participants to “sit out” a peak if required.
Why do I need to fundraise?
All participants are encouraged to raise a minimum of $5,000.
Every young person deserves a safe place to sleep at night and your fundraising efforts directly support our goal of raising $100,000 to build new bedrooms for the Haven House Projects.
