Carlisle Support Services is proud to confirm that for the second year in a row, we will be taking part in Railway Children‘s 2026 Three Peaks Challenge by Rail.
With two teams of four (exact teams to be confirmed), we are excited to announce our team members for this year’s event:
Alex Wikins
Gemma Barry
Chloe Sargeant
Jason Hurd
Mark Oram
Sam Dennhardt
Stephen Kilby
Waqas Khan
On Thursday, 25th June, our two teams will take part in a race against the clock to scale the three highest peaks of England, Scotland, and Wales (Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis, and Snowdon) over forty-four hours.
This impressive challenge will take our two teams on a total ascent of 3064 metres (10,052ft), which is the equivalent of scaling the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, 3.7 times.
Starting their first climb at 7:30 pm on Thursday, the team will ascend Snowden, then, fourteen hours later, they will arrive ready to climb their second peak, Scafell Pike, before they tackle their final mountain, Ben Nevis, at 4:20 am on Saturday.
Organised by the Railway Children, this event will raise funds towards helping children who find themselves vulnerable and alone on stations and streets around the UK, India, and Tanzania, by removing the vulnerable and those experiencing cruelty in their situation from the risk of life on the streets.
Participating in this event for the second year in a row (read about last year’s success here) highlights Carlisle Support Services’ continued commitment to making a positive impact beyond the workplace as we expand further within the rail sector. As a key area of business for Carlisle Support Services, this and other rail commitments, such as the Rail Friendly initiative, highlight our continued commitment to improving conditions and creating a positive impact within this sector, and we invite our peers to continue to join us in leading on industry standards and commitments.
Our team have also released their main fundraising page, where, if you are interested, you can show your support towards the team for this incredible cause. Thank you in advance.
