Recent ‘Peak District Challenge’ News
More about this

As I’m sure you know, Wilderness Developments has organised the Original Peak District Challenge since 2013. We have been asked a few times recently about another event that has a very similar name by people looking for a longer-than-a-marathon “ultra” challenge event. We thought we would clarify how we differ in terms of entry fee and sponsorship, and how that affects the amount of money your chosen charity receives. (It’s also important to know that you don’t have to raise anything if you don’t want to. You can just pay your entry fee and take part)
