Irish Sport Hillwalking Records


As the All-Ireland governing body for Sport Hillwalking, we maintain the official list of records set in our sport. The records listed below have all been set by individuals and teams competing in our Sport Hillwalking competitions. We will be adding other categories in due course. To be considered for a record, participants must  log their visits to Irish mountain summits and High Points while on location using the Peakhunter smartphone app. They must also register for the associated challenge / competition on Peakhunter.
