The Wild For Nature Peak Bagging Challenge 2024

About the Challenge:

The Wild For Nature Charitable Trust is the owner and organiser of The WILD Epic Mountain Runs. Its stated purpose is “to encourage people of all abilities to pursue adventurous activities on foot and by doing so to benefit both themselves and the natural environment”

After an epic success last year, the Trust has teamed up with Wild Things to bring this challenge back to its members. Are you ready to get out there and start bagging peaks during 2024?! 

It doesn’t matter how fast or slow you do this, just so long as it’s done on foot.

Your challenge is to run or walk up as many of the peaks listed in the Wild Things directory as you can between Feb 1st and 30th April 2024. Please note - all peaks listed in the directory qualify. 

NB each peak only counts once, no matter how many times you climb it. The idea is to have as many new adventures as possible, not repeat the same old same old numerous times!
