Welcome!

Welcome to our page! We are the Intrepid Misfits – a rag-tag bunch of sailors and runners who have assembled with one common goal: to complete the 2013 Three Peaks Yacht Race.

Not your average 5k charity fun run, the Three Peaks Yacht Race attracts international sailing teams and top fell runners  to the UK each June. Each team comprises five members, and usually consists of three sailors and two fell runners. The sailors navigate a single hulled yacht from Barmouth in Mid-Wales to Ft. William in Scotland…stopping at Caernarvon, Whitehaven and Ft. William to allow the runners to ascend the three highest peaks in first Wales (Snowdon), then England (Scafell Pike) and finally Scotland (Ben Nevis). Thus the team complete 400 miles of sailing, three marathon distance runs and three mountain ascents in about 4-5 days (non-stop)!

Please join us (virtually) on our journey to Fort William. We will be sharing our endeavour through social media, video/photography, and of course this website. Needless to say, the task at hand cannot be completed alone and we will look for support in our friends/family as well as the adventure racing community.
