Keash King of the Hill 5k 2026

The Keash King of the Hill 5k takes place in Keash, Co. Sligo, and forms part of the annual King of the Hill event alongside the 10k race. The 5k follows a single loop course in and around Keash Hill, in the shadow of the Caves of Keash, a prominent limestone ridge that defines the landscape of this part of County Sligo. The course features challenging uphill sections and rewards runners with scenic views on the descents, reflecting the hilly terrain of the surrounding area. The event is organised by Keash Parish and is held on the last weekend of July each year in conjunction with the Garland Sunday festival weekend. The race is chip timed and attracts both competitive runners and recreational participants.
