Fei Sheehy Challenge
The Fei Sheehy Challenge is a multi-day hillwalking event held from Friday 7 to Sunday 9 August 2026. The route crosses three mountain groups on three designated, consecutive days: the Comeragh, Galty and Knockmealdown Mountains. Participants may choose to complete one, two or all three days, listed as Single Crossing, Double Crossing and Treble Crossing.
The event is organised by Na Sléibhte Hillwalking Club and is supported privately by individuals, businesses and the hill walking community. It is endorsed by Mountaineering Ireland. The minimum age for entry is 18 years.
This is a self-navigation and self-reliance event. No walk leaders are provided and participants are expected to use and practice their own mountain navigation and safety skills.
Over the three designated days the cumulative distance and vertical change are approximately:
- 32 km Comeragh Mountains, 1400 m ascent
- 30 km Galty Mountains, 1700 m ascent
- 30 km Knockmealdown Mountains, 1100 m ascent
Total distance is circa 92 km with total ascent and descent around 4,200 m. Entry options and fees were published for Single, Double and Treble Crossing choices. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
