The Welsh 3000s involves reaching every Welsh mountain peak over 3000 feet, within a set time limit. Due to the experience and endurance required, completion times vary. 24 hours is a standard target, with fitter walkers aiming for 12 hours, and top fell runners looking at times under four hours.
As a precursor to the Welsh 3000s Challenge, walkers would often have completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, followed by the National Three Peaks Challenge. For further information on these two challenges, and others, see The Three Peaks Challenge. The Welsh 3000s is still however quite a large step up from these more popular challenges.
The Welsh 3000s Challenge is generally seen as including the 14 peaks listed here.
