IT was spitting rain for the Tralee 10k on Saturday but that didn’t deter over 220 participants who took to the roads around the town.

“We’re delighted, the running conditions were great in the rain. Everyone is happy and home safe so it all went off well,” said race organiser, Jim McNiece who was at the finish line at Tralee Town Park.

This was the second last race of the year in the Tralee Marathon series with one more event next month.

Conrad Watt was first man home in 34:57, followed by Joe O’Connor in 36:14 and
Conor O Mahony third in 36:18.

First woman home was Mary O’Shea in 42:06, with Ciara Egan in second at 43:30 and Marie Hayes in third with a time of 44:40. Scroll down for photos…
