Report

The Cavan Way route has changed in sections from the original route that was uploaded here to FKT. You can find updated maps on the Sport Ireland website. Please respect the slight change in routing, as the previous land may no longer be open to walkers/runners. I started at the Beara Breifne Way info board in Dowra beside the bridge, and finished at the Beara Breifne Way info board in the middle of Blacklion. The route is just shy of 24km, with 540m of gain when running from South to North. An easy mix of boreens, by-roads and rolling farmland, it's a lovely route to tick off if you're in the area. 

A note for anyone running shortly after me - there is still extremely extensive storm damage from last winter in the Cavan Burren park, with the trees (almost) impassable (see photo).
