How do I register?
Just click on the register button at the top of the page and away you go!
How much does it cost to register?
Registration is £30! all we then ask is that you raise a mimumum of £275 for your Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge. We'll send you a fundraising pack filled with goodies to help you raise your target and we'll be with you every step of the way.
Can we register a team?

When does registration close?
Registration closes 1 month before the event date or when we hit our participant limit of 50 people (whichever comes first) so sign up quickly to avoid disappointment.

You will receive a welcome email from The Children’s Hospital Charity with lots of helpful advice as to how to start your fundraising. You will also receive a fundraising pack to help you on your way.
Can I get a Team Theo charity t-shirt to wear?
You can request a charity t-shirt when you register for the event. This will be sent to you with your fundraising pack.

When registering for this event, you will be encouraged to set up your personal fundraising page. Once set-up you can let your family, friends, relatives, co-workers, classmates and neighbours know you are participating, share your fundraising page with them and ask them for a donation.

When is the mimumum sponsorship due?
We ask that the mimumum sponsorship of £275 is raised at least one month before the challenge. However, as long as we can see your fundrasing there is no time pressure. Please do contact the charity team to discuss if there are any problems.
Where will my fundraising go?
Sheffield Children’s Hospital is a specialist children’s hospital, providing world-class care for children all over Yorkshire and across the UK. The Children’s Hospital Charity makes Sheffield Children’s Hospital even better, by creating an environment built with children in mind. Your donations will help us support Sheffield Children's where it is needed most.
How do I pay in any offline fundraising?
Ask people to donate directly to your online fundraising page. That way the money will automatically come direct to us and you don’t have to chase anyone to collect their money (please note online fundraising pages will take an admin fee off your overall sponsorship raised).
If you’ve collected cash then you can pay the money in by sending a cheque made payable to ‘The Children’s Hospital Charity’ at The Children’s Hospital Charity, Western Bank, Sheffield S10 2TH.
You can also send your money in via bank transfer, please email us at events@tchc.org.uk for bank details.

Where do we start the walk from?
All our guided Yorkshire Three Peaks events start in Horton-in-Ribblesdale. We park in the national parks carpark which costs £4.50 for the day. There are other carparks which are cheaper but by paying in the national parks carpark the money generated goes back into looking after the paths etc on the Yorkshire Three Peaks.
What happens if we can't complete the challenge and need to drop out on route?
We have a support vehicle which if for any reason you feel like you want to stop at the 2 check points on route 10 miles in and 18 miles in, we will transport you back to the start.
