There’s something profoundly humbling about watching the first light of day break over a breathtaking landscape. Imagine standing atop Northern Ireland’s highest peak, surrounded by fellow supporters, as the sun rises and casts its glow over County Down. The Slieve Donard Sunrise Walk is not just an opportunity to witness this natural spectacle—it’s a chance to make a difference.

Northern Ireland’s leading local cancer charity invites you to take part in this meaningful journey. By joining the walk, you’ll contribute to vital care and support services for cancer patients and their families, fund groundbreaking research, and help in the fight to protect future generations through cancer prevention programs.

Let’s come together to support this incredible cause, one sunrise at a time.

Challenge yourself with the Slieve Donard Sunrise Walk!
Saturday 22nd February 2025 starting at 5:30am, you will make it to the top of Slieve Donard around 7.30am. There you can take in the spectacular sunrise across County Down, before returning down for a well-earned hot cuppa.

We will follow the well-known route from Glen River, past the ice house up to the saddle and then a final climb to the summit. The pace of the climb is set by the group, suiting all abilities and take on average 5 hours.
