Event Description:
Join us on Saturday 9th August 2025 for the inaugural Cuilcagh Camino.
Two routes on offer:
Long approx 27k (min 8 hrs duration)
&
Short approx 16km( min 5 hrs duration)
Both routes will start at the same location (Killesher) and finish at the same location (Swanlinbar).
Please Note: Registration takes place in St Marys Hall, Swanlinbar from 7:00 am (parking available nearby) with onwards transportation to the starting location provided.
Both events will commence at 8.30am sharpe.
PLEASE NOTE:
The long route will take you to the summit of Cuilcagh mountain (660m elevation gain), while the short route will hug the beautiful lowlands of Cuilcagh. Neither route links into the Stairway to Heaven.
Cuilcagh Ramblers leaders ably assisted by volunteers/stewards will lead and direct all participants.
Both routes will include some tarred byroads, gravel tracks, open boggy hillside/mountain and grassy trails.
Both routes will be on open mountain ground where the weather can change quickly and the ground can be uneven/slippy in places so proper hiking boots, rain gear and water are compulsory. Spare layers, snacks and sweets are strongly advisable.
The Cuilcagh Camino is being organised by members of Cuilcagh Ramblers and other local volunteers with proceeds of the event being donated to charity.
Fee €60 (excl. booking fee) includes transportation to the start location, tea/coffee at approx midway point, hot food at the finish and a commemorative Cuilcagh Camino t-shirt.
