Keighley and Richmond RAYNET will be providing safety cover of the Three Peaks Fell Race on 26th April 2025.

Help Request for Yorkshire Three Peaks Fell Race – Saturday 26th April 2025
Each year Yorkshire RAYNET, in association with Keighley RAYNET, and many RAYNET volunteers from far and wide provide the safety radio communication for the Yorkshire Three Peaks Fell Race taking in the iconic peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, the original ‘Marathon with Mountains.’ 2025 is the 70th anniversary event, so in celebration this year sees the addition of a junior race and team relay to complement the 1000 strong field of runners in the main event. We normally operate with around 35 RAYNET volunteers across a variety of duties from fell topper, to valley checkpoint and a fleet of minibuses. To cover the additional few checkpoints and a fleet of 8 minibuses (normally 4) we could do with a handful of additional operators. For those travelling from further afield to Horton-in-Ribblesdale (the start/finish location in The Yorkshire Dales), camping in the event field is available
