THE Tralee 10k Race saw 330 runners take to the roads around Tralee on Saturday where a Kerry and Irish athletics legend was also remembered.

The race was run this year in memory of Jerry Kiernan, the Listowel man who won so many long distance races back in the 80s and 90s. Jerry’s nephew Philip O’Sullivan ran the race while his sister Eileen was also down for the day.

Race Director Jim McNiece was delighted with how the day went. “It’s been a great success, 400 registered and 330 turned up this morning. The weather held off perfectly and I want to thank Martin Brosnan and the stewards and the staff and residents of Arlington Lodge — our chosen charity for the day — who manned the water stops.”
