FINAL preparations are being made at CBS, The Green as it looks forward to hosting its second 5k and 3k fun runs this Sunday at 1pm.
The fun run, which saw over 500 runners take part last year is a fund raiser for the school’s all-weather pitch which is currently under construction.
Having raised €3,000 last year, the school hopes to match if not better that amount this year. The 5k and 3k distances are aimed at all types of running abilities, with both courses being predominantly flat.
Walkers are also welcome. The cost of the event is €10 for adults and €5 for students and children.

With prizes for the winners, music, medals for all, a mass warm up on the day, post-race refreshments, bouncy castles and face painting for the kids, this event promises to be a great day out for all the family.
Parking on the day will be available in surrounding car parks but not on the school’s grounds. It is advised to come early to soak up the atmosphere and take part in the mass warm up led by runner Billy O’Brien.
Norman Foley of Spar, Castlemaine Road, Tralee has come on board once again to sponsor the medals and trophies and Lee Strand is sponsoring the race numbers, and the post-race refreshments.
Registration and number collection takes place in the school on Saturday, September 25 from 2pm to 6pm and on the day of the run from 9am to 12.45pm. More information on Facebook (CBS, the Green 5k/3k run) or contact the school on (066) 7145824.
