The Challenge

We currently organise three hour Peak Raid races in the autumn and Peak Raid Anytime races in the spring and summer.

Peak Raid races have a three hour time limit and a score format so you can make them as hard or as easy as you like. A specially produced colour map (approx. size A4) of the area with the checkpoints overprinted will be supplied at the start line. For each event there will be between 15 and 20 check points. Each checkpoint has a points value and they can be visited in any order. The aim is to collect as many points as possible within the time allowed. Each area is different so your strategy may need to change each time.

Peak Raid Anytime races can be completed at any time and use GPS location services on an Android or Apple phone. Watches capable of recording a track and producing a .gpx or .fit file can also be used. These events use the same format but have a time limit of two hours.
