- 39th edition starts on the 11th June 2016The Three Peaks Yacht Race is one of the oldest and most remarkable multi-sport endurance races in the world. It is a unique event combining sailing, running and a little cycling; with the quirky feature that rowing is allowed in moments of calm. It takes competitors through some of the most spectacular scenery that the United Kingdom has to offer and truly challenges the sailors' navigational expertise.The race draws competitors from a wide variety of sporting backgrounds and sailing experience, ranging from offshore cruising to round-the-world racing. Sailing and sports clubs, military, corporate and charity teams all enter the race and compete on equal terms.Teams of four or five per yacht sail from Barmouth on the west coast of Wales up to the finish in Fort William on the west coast of Scotland. Two of the crew are required to climb each of the highest mountains in Wales, England and Scotland en route, thereby running the equivalent of three marathons in 3 or 4 days.During the first leg from Barmouth, yachts sail approximately 62 sea miles, past Bardsey Island and the Lleyn Peninsula, over Caernarfon Bar and into Caernarfon. The runners then set off to the summit of Snowdon, a distance of just over 24 miles by the time they are back at the boats. There is no pause after the run, it is then directly on to the next phase of the race. There is an early bird discount; £800 till the 1st March and £900 after.Facebook: www.facebook.com/ThreePeaksYachtRaceTwitter: @3PeaksYachtRaceWebsite: www.threepeaksyachtrace.co.uk
