OUSET 3 Yorkshire Peaks Challenge – Saturday 31st August 2024

We are running a Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge, to raise funds to support OUSET’s work helping OU Students experiencing financial hardship. Our goal is to raise £3636, which will be enough to fund a further OU module for an OU Student in need.

This is a 12 hour challenge, to complete 24 miles of moderate walking, covering the following 3 major peaks in Yorkshire:

  • Ingleborough - 724m
  • Pen-Y-Ghent - 694m
  • Whernside - 736m
  • In total 1600m of ascent & descent.

    We have 12 limited places available, for participants to purchase at £70.00 each to take part in our challenge. Each challenger will aim to raise £303.00 through sponsorship, to achieve our goal.

    Step Up for OUSET

    This was a collaborative campaign working with the fantastic community within the OU Fit Club. Together we worked to raise awareness of, and funds for OUSET. Over 160 people participated in this campaign, sharing our just giving page with friends, family and their communities. We covered a whopping 18,076km, and raised £305.00, enough to purchase a laptop for an OU student in need! We plan to run another Step Up for OUSET challenge in the second half on 2024.
