Never-Rest (Everest) Challenge

24hr Challenge

The Nimsdai Foundation is proud to announce the launch of its first-ever ‘Never-Rest (Everest) Challenge’, a unique 24-hour endurance event designed to inspire people to push beyond their limits while raising awareness and funds for the Foundation’s life-changing work.

This event is taking place on 13th – 14th June at the Dolphin Shopping Centre in Poole. The challenge will see participants use stair climbers to collectively attempt the elevation equivalent of Mount Everest (8,849m) and ultimately aim to conquer the combined height of all 14 of the world’s 8,000-metre peaks as many times as possible within a 24-hour period.

Inspired by our Founder

The event draws inspiration from the extraordinary achievements of Nimsdai Purja MBE, founder of the Nimsdai Foundation and world-renowned mountaineer who famously summited all 14 of the world’s highest mountains in record time which was featured on the Netflix show '14 Peaks'.

• Corfe Mullen - 14 Wareham Rd, Corfe Mullen, Wimborne BH21 3LE
