Surrey Three Peaks

Push your limits and step into the heart of the Surrey Hills to take on the Surrey Three Peaks Challenge - 5 September 2026.

Embark on the iconic Surrey Three Peaks Challenge - a guided 25km trek through breathtaking countryside, all in support of older people across Surrey. Beginning at Ryka’s Café on Box Hill and ending in the picturesque village of Holmbury St. Mary, this fulfilling one-day adventure takes you across some of Surrey’s most scenic and diverse landscapes. With expert support from Back on Track’s professional hiking guides, it’s a fantastic chance to get outdoors, push your limits, and make a positive impact.

This challenge is ideal for Surrey businesses, colleagues, friends, or individuals to come together in a meaningful way to fundraise for Age UK Surrey.

Please note this challenge contains hilly, steep sections and is ideal for walkers who are confident with long, hilly climbs, not just flat routes.

Take part in a Surrey first!

As part of Age UK Surrey's Age Better Together in Surrey campaign, Age UK Surrey is also launching a Surrey Three Peaks first - a relay option to offer this challenge to a wider group of people. Increase your fitness level and come together as a community to support the work Age UK Surrey does to help older people in Surrey stay connected, healthy and active. Take part in this event as a team and commit to hiking either the 11km or 15km. Together, we can raise awareness, raise funds, and make a difference for older people across Surrey one step at a time.

Relay Option: We offer a Relay option for 2 team members to share the hike. First team members walk 11km to Westcott, climbing Box Hill and Ranmore. The second team members take over from Westcott and hikes 15km, including Leith Hill and finishes with Holmbury Hill.

Please email us: fundraising@ageuksurrey.org.uk to confirm your team name and members. Team members are responsible for their own transport.
