Chinley 3 Peaks 30th July 2023

July 30, 2023 @ 7:30 am - 1:00 pm

We would like to thank Brian who has kindly offered to organise the event for the Thomas Theyer Foundation.
The Chinley 3 Peaks is a running and walking event, with the aim of raising funds for Thomas Theyer Foundation.
Registration is at the Old Hall and the start/finish is at the Paper Mill (next to the Old Hall), Whitehough, Chinley. The event takes in the summits of South Head, Chinley Churn (Big Stone rather than the trig point) and Eccles Pike with the participants choosing the best route between them based on the map provided. Approximate distance 9.5 miles depending on which route you choose.
There will be checkpoints at the summits of South Head, Chinley Churn and Eccles Pike – you can visit the summits in any order, you can also choose to do just one, two or all three, though you have to do all to be in with the chance of a prize.
There will be prizes for the fastest male and female. Plus, spot prizes and awards for light hearted things such as the brightest clothing.
