The Mahdlo Youth Zone Three Peaks of Saddleworth challenge is set to return for 2025

Get ready to dust off your hiking boots and soak in some of Oldham’s most stunning views - the Mahdlo Three Peaks of Saddleworth challenge is back!

The event will take place on Saturday, July 5, 2025, once again proudly sponsored by KG Construction for the third consecutive year.

This much-loved local challenge invites walkers of all abilities to conquer the iconic 15-mile route, taking in the breath-taking landmarks of Pots and Pans, Indian’s Head and Wharmton Hill.

Whether you’re in it for the fundraising, the challenge or the camaraderie, this event promises a memorable day out.

In 2024, action spoke louder than words as participants raised thousands to support Mahdlo Youth Zone – a charity empowering and championing young people across Oldham and beyond.

Participants will enjoy a full event package: a commemorative t-shirt, breakfast, picnic, on-route refreshments and a well-earned post-walk carvery sandwich at the Royal George in Greenfield.

Fundraisers will also receive tailored support to help them hit their fundraising goals.

You can take part and raise vital funds for Mahdlo, take part to support another charity close to your heart or just join the event for the joy of walking – everyone is welcome and all walkers will receive the event perks.

This year, KG Construction continues its remarkable commitment to the event and the young people of Oldham for the third year running.

Kristian Greaves, Managing Director of KG Construction, said: "I am proud to share that we are supporting Mahdlo Youth Zone for the third year running.

"Mahdlo continues to make a real difference in the lives of young people across our community.

"Their commitment to providing a safe, supportive and inspiring space for youth to grow, learn and thrive is something that we truly believe in.

"Since we have been involved with supporting Mahdlo, it’s been overwhelming to see the work that they do for our community and this is something we are honoured to stand behind and help them continue their work in Oldham.

"We are born and raised in Oldham, from working-class families and it’s our way of giving something back to the town that shaped us, helping to provide the next generation with opportunities, support and a safe space we never had.

"We can’t wait to lace up those walking boots again and get those steps in whilst admiring the stunning views of Oldham and the Pennines with all the friendly faces and dogs.

"It’s a challenge we immediately look forward to doing again the year later as soon as we get to the finish line, whilst socialising with a nice cold beer and a warm roast beef sandwich courtesy of the team at the Royal George.

"We would love to see you there and supporting such a brilliant cause."

Booking is now open for individuals and groups, with flexible options whether you’re fundraising or simply out to enjoy the walk.

Book your spot today and join Mahdlo for a day of walking, community spirit and unforgettable views – all in support of Oldham’s young people providing them with brighter futures.
