Sunday 28th – National Walking Day: Celebrate National Walking Day with us! National Walking Day is the perfect chance for our hillwalking community to come together and showcase the best of what we do. As hillwalking enthusiasts, this is the perfect opportunity to lace up your boots, gather your fellow walkers, and showcase your club. Put your club at the heart of this national celebration of walking! We encourage you to mark the occasion by organising a club walk throughout the weekend. Let’s step out together and show our support for National Walking Day!
Register your event on our website and download resources.
Be sure to share your walking experience using #WalkHikeRunPushRoll and #NWD2025.
Our social media campaign begins Monday 1st September, and we’ll be directing everyone to getirelandwalking.ie/nwd-2025 going live on Monday 9th June.
