Details

Folks, Im putting this event up on the site for anybody who might be interested in participating in this event or who have already registered for this event. Currently, I am not officially registered, however I am in touch with one of the event organisers, so hope to have a ticket between now and the event date, as I intend to participate in this event.. If you are not registered and minus a ticket, let me know and I will see what I can do! No guarantees by the way, however in previous years, a substantial number of tickets become available in the week leading up to the event.
Hosted by Annascaul Walks, this event promises to be an unforgettable experience. Known for its unrivaled scenic beauty, the Tom Crean Endurance Walk showcases the majestic landscapes of Mount Brandon, Brandon Ridge, An Geran, Ballysitteragh, Cnapan Mór, Windy Gap, Cnoc Mhaoilain, and the Annascaul River walk. With a total distance of 30 km and an ascent of 1900 meters, this self-navigated walk requires a high level of fitness and mountain experience. There is also a great apres hike night in the village with food (Outdoor barbecue) and entertainment provided in the local pubs on the Saturday night. Most accommodation in the general Annascaul area is now booked out, however keep an eye on the likes of booking.com or other reservation sites as accommodation will become available, either hostel, B&B or hotel type. I've also provided the link below, which will give you all the information you will need to complete this walk.
Every participant who completes the walk, will be presented with a commemoration medal from Tom Crean's great grandson at the finish, at the back of The South Pole Inn. It is a great weekend in the annual hiking challenge calendar 🥾🥾⛰️
