The Three Towers Challenge will take place on Sunday 23rd June 2019. Participants must be a member of Inspire Chorley Youth Zone and be over the age of 14 years. You must be able to get to the designated starting point (TBD) at Peel Tower for 7am.

The walk is approximately 20 miles starting at Peel Tower then to Darwen Tower and Rivington Tower. We anticipate the walk will take approximately 12 hours and walkers will be brought back to Inspire where they can be collected. Parents will be contacted with the estimated time of return on the day. The walk is been co-ordinated by specially qualified outdoor activities staff from Sporting NRG and Inspire Youth Zone staff.

To take part in the challenge you must attend training sessions on Sundays leading up to the event between 5-8pm to make sure you are prepared for the challenge! As the walk is for the Inspire charity, we ask that you raise a minumum of £50 through fundraising leading up to the event.
