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? 

add remove
Your registration fee only allows us to cover our event costs, this is why it is so important to make sure you are doing what you can to fundraise and help a homeless young person have a safe place to sleep and a better chance at life.  

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.
