Ten Tors challenge 2026

Google Classroom code: h5xfx6ld

Please continue to follow follow this online classroom for selected participants and joining instructions.

Dear Year 10 student, 

It’s with great pleasure that we set out our plans to you for Ten Tors 2026. Firstly, I can confirm that the Army has offered St Peter’s two teams in the 35 mile distance and one team in the 45 mile distance (open to yr 11/12’s past ast Peter’s pupils) . This is a unique opportunity to participate in the world’s largest organised event for teenagers.

As always, we have a limited number of spaces and in recent years 50+ participants have applied for places to train. Training is open to everyone, regardless of experience, but we will expect a demonstration of 100% effort, determination, perseverance and attendance to briefings as well as walks. Please complete the form below as your expression of interest and commitment to thetraining cohort.

Final selection for Ten Tors teams will be based on a combination of attendance, abilities and willingness to work in a team! The distances walked, the amount of kit carried, and the level of fitness required is expected to build over the training period. Teams’ selection is the ultimate decision of the Ten Tors Manager. The team manager will access the best candidates based on a range of skills observed over the training period by our qualified and experienced staff.

The following dates can be subject to change depending on factors out of our control such as availability of qualified staff and the weather. Additional classroom lessons will be posted in due course; these classroom sessions will cover basic map & compass skills, route planning, equipment, Ten Tors Rules & basic first aid.
