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 since the start of 2024 when we introduced the 4-month-long competition season. Earlier scores which had previously appeared on this page had been set during years when the competition season was longer than it is now, so cannot be directly compared. 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.
