Armagh to Dungannon!
So… what’s a Bigfoot?
Runners have their marathon, cyclists have their ‘sportives’. Walkers always seem to be an after thought, always second fiddle to the runners, tagged on to the end of a fun run. Walkers deserve the same level of event in terms of challenge, profile and organisation that runners & cyclists expect.
Bigfoot established a new standard for walking event in 2010 when over 350 people completed the 18 miles challenge. It takes two landmarks, at least 15 miles apart and joins them with an iconic walking challenge. The Bigfoot challenge is between the historic towns of Armagh and Dungannon. We leave from the Mall, in the shadow of the Cathedral spires, and walk to Dungannon Park. We go on the 27th May, 2012.
Bigfoot n. is a linear walking challenge of 15 miles or more between 2 distinct landmarks.
The Bigfoot Handbook
For people who don't have web access or simply want to carry all this information in a small book, we've created the Bigfoot Handbook. It contains all the information in this website in a handy pocket size format and has a more detailed description of the Bigfoot Route. Copies are available from all the walking centres and from your local Sainsbury's Store. If you're unable to find a copy you can download by clicking on the cover, or contact us and we'll arrange to get one to you.
