The Three Peaks Yacht Race
Sail up the wild West Coast and run to the summits of Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis, the highest peaks of Wales, England & Scotland. A classic adventure race for teams of runners and sailors, since 1977.
Kings of the Mountains (The Damart Cup)
The Shortest Aggregate Time On All Land Sections By The Same Two Runners
This section is in two halves: 1977 to 1999, when Scafell was climbed from the port at Ravenglass (a round distance of 32 miles) and 2000 onwards when Scafell was climbed from the port at Whitehaven, by way of a 20 mile cycle ride to Ennerdale, thence a run over Blacksail Pass to Wasdale Head. (The new total distance was 52.5 miles with 8,000 feet of climbing.)
