THE Tralee 10 Miler and 5k event was one of the sporting events that had to be postponed at the weekend, but it has now been rescheduled for Sunday, March 1.

Michelle Greaney of MG Fitness who organised the race made the call to postpone the race on Saturday morning.

“It broke my heart having to postpone this event but I am happy to say everything is in place again for March 1 at 11am at The Rose Hotel,” said Michelle.

“Even though Sunday looked ok at times and the course was ok, the safety of runners had to be considered. Online registration now re-opened for rescheduled event in support of the Kerry Hospice Foundation.”

“Anyone that could not make yesterday originally has the opportunity to book a place now and I have opened up 25 places for the 10 Miler and 15 for the 5k. Also, it give two more weeks to train for this,” added Michelle.

The 10 Miler course features a short elevation at mile 5 and 6, but otherwise is an ideal course to get that personal best.

The 5k course claims to be the flattest in Munster and is a chip timed event. Marshals and water stations will be present throughout the course

There will be bespoke medals for each participant, trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Male and female in both events, age category trophies for the 10 Miler and 5k and a cash bonus for winners of the 10 Miler.

Entry is €25 + €1.20c transaction fee for the 10 Miler and 5k entry is €12 + .50c transaction fee. Register at https://register.primoevents.com/ps/event/Tralee10Milerand5k2020
