Are you looking for a feel-good challenge this summer, or wish to connect with fellow OU Students?
Well, look no further – The OUSET Three Yorkshire Peaks Challenge is exactly what you’re looking for! It will be running on Saturday 31 August 2024.
The Challenge
This is a moderate walking challenge, to complete a 24-mile circular route, within 12 hours, covering the following spectacular peaks in Yorkshire:
- Ingleborough – 724 m
- Pen-y-ghent – 694 m
- Whernside – 736 m
In total, over 2,100 metres of ascent and descent!
Accommodation will be provided the night before, along with a qualified guide for the challenge! A support vehicle is also included on the challenge day, which will meet the team halfway for a top-up of snacks and water.
The Cause
Through sponsorship for this challenge, participants will help raise awareness of (and funds for) the Open University Students Educational Trust (OUSET). The Trust helps OU Students continue their studies in the face of financial adversity, through study-related grants.
Our combined fundraising goal is £3,636, enough to fund a further OU module for a student in need.
We already have four fantastic challengers signed up, and £323 has been raised so far!
There are only eight spaces left to participate in the challenge, so make sure to sign up whilst you can!

If you’d like to support our participants, you can donate to our campaign via JustGiving.
