This event has taken place. Register your interest in the 2011 event, and we will contact you when details have been confirmed. 

This is the event for all IT professionals - whether you work in an IT department or the IT industry - join our IT 3 Peaks Challenge and climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales in 24 hours!

events_table_3pks_june10.jpgYou will begin this tough but exhilarating 3 Peaks Challenge in the beautiful Scottish highlands by ascending the mighty Ben Nevis (1,334 m) on the Saturday afternoon. Next up will be Scafell Pike (978m) in the Lake District, followed by the final mountain, Snowdon (1085m) in Wales on the Sunday afternoon. After completing the challenge, you will enjoy a celebratory meal, awards ceremony and party with other people from across the industry. This is a great way to get out of the office and enjoy the countryside with colleagues and friends. 

The minimum fundraising target is £6000 per team and funds will support CARE’s work helping more than 59 million people a year in 70 countries find a route out of poverty. For example, your £6000 could set up more than 6 village schools in remote parts of India, providing training and support for teachers as well education materials allowing children to receive a basic right – an education.

You will be supported at every stage of your IT 3 Peaks Challenge with pre-event training and fundraising support, as well as safety provisions on the day including a team radio and experienced guides on route.

CARE challenge are an in-house charity fundraising team. We offer many exciting charity events that you can join. All our charity challenges offer amazing adventures outdoors and lots of our activities take place over adventure weekends. If charity runs are your thing, then we have lots to offer - 10K runs, half marathons and many other running events. Or, how about cycling events for charity? We certainly have lots to offer in the charity cycling department. There are charity rides where you can cycle London to Brighton or you can even do a charity bike ride from London to Paris, if London to Brighton isn't far enough! We also have some charity walks and hikes. Later this year we have a sponsored walk that is 25 miles long in order to celebrate the 25th anniversary of CARE International's UK office. If activities outdoors and adventure weekends get your adrenalin pumping, then why not sign up for one of our mountain challenges? We have numerous charity challenges on mountains over the year from three peaks challenges to 24 peaks challenges - if you think you're up to it! For many of our charity fundraising events you can register as a teamleader or part of a team. We believe our charity challenges offer great teambuilding activities and are really great for team events.
