The Steve Prescott Foundation Announces New Endurance Challenge in Memory of Steve Prescott MBE
The Steve Prescott Foundation is thrilled to announce its latest endurance challenge dedicated to honouring the legacy of the late Steve Prescott MBE. In collaboration with our main sponsor, @Rapidgrid we have united a formidable team of 10 cyclists who will embark on an ambitious journey to conquer the Three National Peaks: Snowdon, Scafell, and Ben Nevis. This challenging endeavour will take place over three days, from September 12th to 14th, 2025, where the team will climb each summit and cycle a staggering 450 miles in total.
Challenge Itinerary:
- Day One: Climb Snowdon and cycle 161 miles.
- Day Two: Cycle 34 miles, climb Scafell Pike, followed by cycling another 125 miles.
- Day Three: Cycle 117 miles and conclude with a climb of Ben Nevis.
Your invaluable support will play a crucial role in benefiting our charity partners, The Christie Charity Cancer Hospital and the Rugby League Benevolent Fund Rugby League Cares while also perpetuating the extraordinary legacy of Steve Prescott MBE.
Rapidgrid, our main sponsor, is a reputable specialist in groundworks and civil engineering. They have a proven track record of successfully completing major groundwork projects and offer expert solutions in challenging conditions.
