Registration is now open for the 2025 Welsh 3 Peaks challenge.

This event is being held in aid of Tŷ Hafan Children’s Hospice.

On June 7, teams will attempt to conquer Eryri, Cadair Idris, and Pen-Y-Fan, covering a total of 20.35 miles and an ascent of 9,397ft within 24 hours.

The challenge is open to teams of four walkers and one designated driver.

The registration fee is £25 per team, with each team expected to raise a minimum of £800 for the hospice.

Participants will receive a medal, T-shirt, hot food at the end of the challenge, and fundraising support from the moment they sign up.

James Davies-Hale, head of fundraising for Tŷ Hafan, said: "No parent ever imagines that their child’s life will be short.

"Sadly, this is the reality facing thousands of families in Wales.

"By taking on the Welsh 3 Peaks for Tŷ Hafan, you can make sure that no one in Wales lives their child’s short life alone.

"Our Welsh 3 Peaks event offers a particularly brilliant opportunity for some great team bonding, so it’s advisable to register quickly as places are allocated on a strictly ‘first come, first served’ basis.

"So now is the time to gather your team and sign up for what promises to be a challenging and unforgettable experience."

Daniel Blamires, associate director at Inspire Design Ltd, who participated in the 2024 challenge, said: "The Welsh 3 Peaks is very well organised and supported by Tŷ Hafan.

"The climbs felt safe with plenty of marshals available to offer support.

"It was a pleasure to participate."

Tŷ Hafan supports more than 400 families who have been affected by the death of a child each year.

The hospice supports terminally ill and life-shortened children and their families. Life-shortened means that the child or young person is not expected to live beyond 18 years old.  The average age of a child referred to Tŷ Hafan between 2019 and 2024 was two years old.

Currently Tŷ Hafan is only able to help 1 in 10 families who need support.
