For sailors and athletes looking for adventure the Three Peaks Yacht Race is a classic challenge, and is now in it\'s 27th year.

Those who successfully reach the finish will have sailed 389 nautical miles, risking sandbanks, rocks and fierce tides. The 2 runners in the team must complete 72 miles and 14,000 feet of climbing to reach the summits of Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis.
