This challenge is difficulty ranked: 4 out of 5.

You are now moving into the realms of serious challenges where you are likely to encounter rough and steep terrain, sleep deprivation, or even high altitude. Be prepared to really stretch your comfort zone. Days can be over 12 hours of trekking, or less if over several days. You will need a resilient mindset & physique due to the strenous nature of the challenge alongside less home comforts, i.e using same clothes for several days, basic facilities if staying in mountain refuges, simple food and for the 24hr 3 peaks you will be sleeping on a minibus! You need to be in good shape to undertake any of these events, and you need to be training regularly. Expect plenty of ascent & descent over long distances! Escape routes will be less available for longer mountain based routes. Emergency assistance may become more of a challenge, especially in remote regions & outside of Europe.

To participate in these events you need have a very good level of overall fitness. You enjoy taking exercise regularly and should be building this up in the lead up to the event (a couple of times a week minimum). You should be happy cross training in several different types of activity (gym, swimming, running, circuit training). You should ideally be capable of running up to 5 or 6 miles at a good steady speed (around 9-10 minute miling). If you do not run, you should be regularly undertaking challenging walks or other strenuous exercise. You should be comfortable walking for 5-7 hours over 14-17 miles in the countryside to include purposeful ascent training of 450-600m ascent utilising local slopes on repeat.
