How it works

One collection.
Three ways in.

Whether Challenge Central builds your company programme, you join an event or you have already completed a recognised challenge—every journey points to the same 5 / 5.

The simple idea

Complete one.
Earn one piece.

Five UK mountain challenges make up the 3 Peaks Series. Each one represents three peaks and one distinct piece of the collection. Complete all five to bring the full medal together.

Your first challenge is the beginning, not a prescribed starting point. Choose the landscape, event or team goal that works for you.

1 / 5Complete

Your Series. Your way.

Choose how
you take part.

All three routes lead into the same five-challenge collection. The company programme remains the most flexible route for larger groups.

01 / Primary route

Private groups

Challenge Central works with companies, charities, clubs, schools and private groups to shape one challenge or a complete programme.

The collection rules

Clear from
the first challenge.

01

Any order

Challenge numbers identify the collection pieces. They do not dictate the order you complete them.

02

No default deadline

The Series is designed to grow with you. There is no standard time limit for reaching 5 / 5.

03

Personal or collective

One person can complete all five, or a company can progress as different colleagues take part.

04

One connected collection

Every recognised completion earns its place in the same five-part 3 Peaks Series story.

Five pieces / One collection

take shape.

Every piece marks a separate achievement. Together they turn five mountain days—or five team events—into one larger story.

The final medal artwork is currently in development. The collection mechanic shown here will be updated when the production designs are approved.
