(You can also choose to do just one, two or all three of the peaks, and you will still get a result, though you have to do all three to be in with a chance of the fastest time prizes).

There will be prizes for the fastest male and female, plus spot prizes and awards for light hearted things such as brightest clothing, biggest navigational blunder, and significant acts of kindness etc!
