Ballinamore Camino 2026
Saturday 11th July 2026
Registrations on sale now!
After the huge success of the first Ballinamore Camino in 2025 we are endeavouring to make this year’s Camino bigger and better.
Due to popular demand we we have added a third shorter route of 16km, in addition to the longer 26.5km and 34.5km routes.
We have also listened to feedback from participants and decided to change the direction of the walk this year – a change of scene without changing the location!
We understand that you may not know which route you will walk on the day but we would appreciate a guide to help us in planning the logistics of the event, so when you are booking your timeslot please let us know your intended route and take the following into consideration:
If you intend to walk the 34.5km route please select a starting time between 7am and 8am inclusive.
If you intend to walk the 16km route please select a starting time between 8am and 9am inclusive.
You may choose any starting time for the 26.5km route.
Please note that this event is a walk, not a race. If you decide to run the route be aware that stewards may not be in place at each station yet.
