Three Peaks Challenge
Corporate Team Challenge: 25-26 June 2010

Classic Three Peaks with Team Challenges.

Not only will your team be competing to return the fastest total time of the Corporate Teams in order to win one of the coverted Corporate Cups, but your whole team, including your support team and drivers, will try to gain ribbons and points during a series of Team Challenges. Attempting these challenges is voluntary - but prizes will be given to the teams gaining most Corporate Team Points... See below for images from the 2009 event.

For latest updates, please visit our Facebook Event Page.

TEAM SIZE: 6-8 walkers + 2 drivers/support

Registration - Fort William

Before starting your Corporate Team Challenge, you and your team will need to register at Fort William. This can be either Thursday evening, or Friday morning. Please bring all members of your team, including drivers, as you will need to fill in the Contact/Medical forms. Here you will get the chance to talk to the organisers and ask any questions before the Event Safety Briefing.

Registration will be in a hotel conference room in Fort William,  as will the Event Safety Briefing.

Event Safety Briefing

Shortly before the start of your Challenge, your Team Leader and Lead Driver will be required to attend an Event Safety Briefing in Fort William. This will be around midday on Friday, and will last for around 45 minutes. Remember to bring your Beacon Map & Guide Sets which have been posted to you, and your Event Information Pack which you will have been given at Registration.

The Event Safety Briefing will cover all aspects of the Challenge, including driving routes, walking routes, car parking, environmental issues, walking equipment and kit, weather, emergencies, and of course you will be able to ask any questions.

We will also issue each team with safety kit items including Emergency Group Shelter, VHF radio, compact cooker & fuel, team event bib, and your Sport Ident dibber (image left). These must be returned at the finish.

Teams will be given start times from 2pm, with 5 minute intervals between team starts. Teams will start from the Glen Nevis Visitor Centre, and this is just a short drive from Fort William.

The Corporate Team Challenge

The Corporate Team Challenge will include the same mountain challenge format as our other Three Peaks Challenges (see the Spring Stroller), however, it will also include a number of challenges for both the walkers and the support team. These challenges are voluntary, and teams may simply choose not to attempt them. The challenges will only take a few moments to complete, and if successful, the team will be awarded points.

The team collecting the most points will be awarded a prize at the finish. Any ties will be decided by the quicker time of the tied teams. The Corporate Cups will be awarded purely on an overall time basis.

Beat The Credit Crunch?

Which organised Three Peaks Challenge should you enter?

Merseyventure have been organising a variety of Adventure & Challenge events since 2000. You may be surprised to know that we organise more events sporting a well known charity or corporate name and logo than those events on our Open Challenge Series.

With the current financial climate, many charities are finding donations have dropped considerably, and many are finding it hard to find teams for fundraising events. Some charities are still requesting between £3k and £6.5k as a fundraising comittment which some people simply cannot raise, especially when adding the cost of team transport and fuel, accommodation, food plus any required equipment.

On Merseyventure 'Open Challenge Series' events, your team entry fee simply pays for the organisation and safety of the event: from event insurance and venues to event safety staff and loan of equipment. We do not require any fundraising - this option is completely up to you. Some teams have raised over £100k, others have not raised any funds.

This is totally up to you.

The entry fee you see is the total cost to take part. No further payment is required.

The question is:

£5000 for a charity you have no real interest in?

or

Whatever you can raise for a charity or good cause of your choice?
