Irish Sport Hillwalking Specialist Awards

Current Title Holders
As the All-Ireland governing body for Sport Hillwalking, High Point Ireland offers an award each year to the top-performing individual in each of our sport's three disciplines: Highpointeering, mountaineering and challenge hillwalking.


Participants in each of the Specialist Award competitions must submit a Sport Hillwalking Entry Form before the halfway point of the Sport Hillwalking season. While each of these unique awards is a standalone competition in its own right, participants are also encouraged to compete in the multi-discipline All-Ireland Hillwalking Championships where Highpointeers, mountaineers and challenge hillwalkers can all compete against and with each other on an equal footing.

All of our Sport Hillwalking initiatives are 100% free for you to take part in. However, please note that we do have significant operational costs which we cover on a voluntary basis ourselves. The long-term development strategy for High Point Ireland, Sport Hillwalking and our growing family of independent Irish information websites will continue to be implemented over the coming years and for as long as it takes until our strategic goals are achieved. To help us speed things along, we'd be most grateful if you would consider using the affiliate links we have set up on The Ireland Travel Guide website to buy your outdoor gear and book accommodation / transport online in the future. Using these links will not affect the price you pay at checkout. However, each purchase / booking you make could send a small commission our way at no extra cost to you. Make no mistake, this is certainly not a get-rich-quick effort, but rather a very slow drip-feed of pennies and cents to partially cover the time, effort and money we continue to invest in our range of independent projects. Thank you for your support.
