The 5 Peaks Challenge is a hill climbing challenge in the British Isles. The aim is to ascend and descend the highest peak in each of England, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Wales within 48 hours, including all travelling, and without breaking national speed limits or recommended driving times. It is an extension of the National Three Peaks Challenge, which includes the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales.

• Scafell Pike (978 m or 3,209 ft), in England
