About This Event

The National 4 Peaks Challenge is scheduled to take place in Fort William on August 1, 2026, commencing at 8:00 AM. This challenging event involves participants scaling the four highest mountains located in Scotland, England, Wales, and Ireland over a gruelling 48-hour period. A variety of teams will compete, highlighting both the endurance aspect of sports and the stunning Scottish Highlands landscape. Each mountain ascent presents a rigorous test of physical and mental fortitude, ensuring an exhilarating experience for all participants.

We’re tackling 4 of the highest mountains in Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland in 48 hours.
