❤️ CARRICK CAMINO – A HUGE THANK YOU! ❤️

And just like that… six Caminos completed! 🎉

We want to take a moment to say a massive THANK YOU to each and every person who helped make Carrick Camino such a success. It really does take a village — or in our case, several villages! 😊

A very special thank you to our amazing volunteers, who were there in rain or shine, guiding, encouraging and looking after our walkers every step of the way. We couldn’t have done it without you! 👏

Thank you to our wonderful sponsors, everyone who helped at the rest stops, those who worked behind the scenes with preparations and decorations, and our fantastic photographers who captured so many great memories along the route. 📸

And, of course, a huge thank you to all the village communities who came together, opened their doors, lent a hand and helped make the whole event happen. The community spirit shown along the way has been truly incredible. ❤️

From the first preparations to the last walker crossing the finish line, there are so many people who played a part — and we are incredibly grateful to every single one of you.

Six Caminos, thousands of footsteps, countless memories… and probably a few sore legs! 😂

Thank you for being part of the Carrick Camino journey. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Until the next one… 🤔🥾❤️

💛 Every year, the Carrick Camino brings our community together — and every year, we’re so grateful for the people who help make the day possible. 🥾

A heartfelt thank you to An Garda Síochána Sligo/Leitrim 🚓🙏 for their fantastic support at this year’s Carrick Camino.

From helping our walkers safely across busy and tricky roads, managing traffic when needed, and sharing their invaluable advice and guidance, their professionalism, patience and dedication helped make the day a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Our Gardaí work tirelessly every day to keep our communities safe, and we truly appreciate the time and care they give to supporting events like ours. Their presence along the route made a huge difference and gave our walkers peace of mind every step of the way. 💛

Thank you for looking after our walkers and helping everyone get safely from start to finish. We couldn’t do it without you! 👏🥾🚓

A Word for Jim Glancy 🚐🥾
Every gang has the one fella who is quietly getting everything sorted while everyone else is wondering what’s going on… and for Carrick Camino, that man is Jim Glancy! 😂
Jim is one of those people who rarely gets a mention but is always there and always ready to lend a hand. Transporting gear, moving things around, collecting the mucky boots that have been swapped for the clean ones, and generally sorting whatever needs sorting.
And then there’s the van… sure, you’d nearly expect to see Mr. T and the rest of the A-Team jumping out of it! 🚐😂
If someone gets into bother along the route, Jim is on it — a lift to the nearest rest stop, a spin to the finish, whatever is needed. No fuss, no drama, just “leave it with me.”
And that’s Jim all over. Reliable as they come.
So, thanks a million Jim, for all the time, effort and commitment you put into Carrick Camino. A huge amount of work happens behind the scenes, and you’re a big part of keeping the whole thing ticking along.
And when he’s not rescuing Camino walkers, Jim is busy running Glancys Bar & Glancys Accommodation here in Carrick-on-Shannon — a proper local institution with over 120 years of family hospitality behind it.
So if you’re coming back to Carrick, or bringing a gang with you, give Glancy’s a shout. Groups big or small are well looked after.
Thanks again Jim. Some man for one man — and fair play to you! 👏🚐🥾

💚 Another huge Carrick Camino thank you goes to Seamus Gibbons and all the team at Electric Bike Trails in Leitrim Village 🚴‍♂️⚡ for their fantastic support of Carrick Camino this year and every year! 👣
While our walkers were busy clocking up the 34km, Seamus and his team were helping behind the scenes and doing their bit to keep everything running smoothly. Their support, good humour and wonderful community spirit are very much appreciated. 🙌
And if walking 34km has you thinking “surely there must be an easier way?” 😄 — Electric Bike Trails has you covered! ⚡🚲
For anyone planning to explore beautiful Leitrim, Electric Bike Trails offers e-bikes and traditional bike hire, making it a brilliant way to discover the Shannon Blueway, Lough Key Forest & Activity Park and the many scenic routes and hidden gems around our county. 🌿💦
So, after completing the Camino, why not give the feet a rest and see Leitrim from two wheels — with a little electric assistance! 😉⚡
Find out more at www.electricbiketrails.ie and be sure to say hello to Seamus and the team.
At Carrick Camino, we’re incredibly grateful to the local businesses and community partners who help make the event what it is. 💚 Your support makes a real difference.
Thank you, Electric Bike Trails! 👣🚲⚡
And remember… there’s no shame in swapping your walking boots for an e-bike after 34km! 😂
