They will then head towards Pen-y-Ghent and then down to Ribblehead viaduct before climbing the highest peak Whernside before finally tackling the final peak, Ingleborough.
Hospice retail operations manager, Kevin Hogarth, and his son Aiden, took the challenge earlier this month.

Hide AdKevin said; ‘My son Aiden turned 21 earlier this year and to celebrate, we climbed Spain’s highest mountain peak, Mount Teide.
“We were looking for a challenge we could do safely in the UK and the Three Peaks fitted the bill.
‘We set off at 07:00 to avoid the crowds and to benefit from the cool weather conditions – ideal for running.”
Typically the trail takes between 8 to 12 hours walking, however the pair ran the route in 6 hours 27 minutes.

Hide AdKevin said: “Because we had trained, we were prepared for the conditions.
“The main challenge is the ascent of Pen-y-Ghent which has some rocky sections, the route from Pen-y-Ghent to Whernside is around 8 miles and the ascent of Ingleborough is long and steep.
“All these elements made for a great challenge and the scenery is beautiful too.”
All government guidelines will be strictly adhered to on the challenge, with participants required social distance on the hike.
Registration costs £25 for each person with a minimum sponsorship of £200.
