Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge for Scarborough's Rainbow Centre team
On Saturday April 18, a team from The Rainbow Centre, along with several supporters, will be taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks – an epic challenge to raise sponsorship and awareness for an incredible cause.
The Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge involves hiking Pen-y-ghent (694m), Whernside (736m), and Ingleborough (723m) in the Yorkshire Dales, usually in under 12 hours.
Covering over 24 miles with more than 5,200ft of ascent, the challenge is no small feat and will truly test everyone involved.
James Howard Fundraising Officer at The Rainbow Centre said: "This is a fantastic challenge and one I am looking forward to doing again.
“We have a strong team of around 15 people who will be heading over to The Yorkshire Peaks and I know they have all worked really hard, so I am sure they will all smash the challenge.
“To prepare, we’ll be warming up with the Scarborough Three Peaks (Scarborough Castle Headland, Oliver’s Mount and Jacob’s Mount) on Sunday April 12.
“We’ll be setting off from The Rainbow Centre at 8am and finishing back there — a great opportunity to get those miles in and build team spirit ahead of the big day!
“If anyone can donate anything to show their support via The Just Giving Page, we would all really appreciate it. Thank you".
On the big day itself, The Rainbow Team will be leaving The Rainbow Centre at 3am to make sure that they will be on the first peak just after the sun comes up.
A long day ahead but everyone has trained well and is looking forward to attacking the challenge.
