On 27 June 2015, a team of Officers and Soldiers from The Mercian Regiment will be competing in the Three Peaks Yacht Race from Barmouth to Fort William to raise money for The Mercian Regiment's Benevolent Fund.

Teams of four or five per yacht sail from Barmouth to Fort William, with two of the crew climbing the highest mountains of Wales, England and Scotland en route, running the equivalent of three marathons in 3 or 4 days. 

Use of engines is not allowed, except for safety reasons in specific areas in ports. However, a unique feature of the race is that rowing is allowed, and over the years many teams have been known to row during the light airs and periods of calm.
