Advocate Events: trekking and adventure challenges in the UK and abroad

Advocate Events is a British company specialising in the organisation of walking, hiking and running experiences in natural environments. Its catalogue ranges from local routes to international treks, with departures to the UK, Europe, Africa and South America. The company presents itself as an option for those looking to complete sporting challenges with full logistical support.

National challenges in the UK

Among the national offerings are the National 3 Peaks Challenge, which involves climbing the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales; the Yorkshire 3 Peaks, a circular route through the Yorkshire summits; and the 9 Peaks Challenge, which expands the challenge to nine peaks. These activities are designed for participants with different levels of experience and take place in selected locations across the UK.

International adventures

The international offering includes the Great Ethiopian Run, a mass-participation race in Ethiopia; the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, in Peru; and the Run Under the Midnight Sun, a running experience in the Arctic Circle. These trips combine physical challenge with cultural and natural immersion in the destinations.

Participant profile

Advocate Events structures its services around three types of clients. For individuals and small groups, it organises small-group adventures that allow participants to meet other mountain enthusiasts. For companies, it designs team building events and corporate challenges. For charities, it facilitates mass events aimed at fundraising, so that organisations can focus on their charitable work.

Organisation and support

The company highlights that each expedition has professional local guides, selected in the destination itself to guarantee expert knowledge of the terrain. The organisation covers logistics from start to finish, including information on dates, times, costs, necessary equipment and physical preparation. It also offers flexible payment options to suit different budgets. All participants receive the mobile phone number of the company directors, ensuring a direct channel of communication during the experience.

Track record and commitment

Founded in 2010, Advocate Events has more than fifteen years of activity and has served more than 4,500 clients, according to its own data. The company states that it has more than twenty years of experience in organising adventures, liability insurance and financial protection, and a team of suitably trained staff. It also notes that all activities are subject to risk assessment and that it prioritises contracting local services and suppliers to maximise the benefit for the communities visited.

Booking process

The website describes a three-step process: browsing the trip catalogue with detailed information on each adventure; booking or making a direct enquiry, which can be completed online or by phone; and preparing before the event, with instructions on luggage, travel and suggested training. The company also offers specific forms to request information about the Inca Trail, Kilimanjaro, the 3 Peaks Challenge and custom packages, as well as to arrange consultations about charity or corporate events.
