In case you get cabin fever at home over the next few days, here’s a few things to get up to if you’re feeling energetic…
1. Get to town early on Christmas Eve…
IF you’ve finally got all the shopping done, relax and enjoy the atmosphere in town on Christmas Eve.
The afternoon is a lovely time to head in with friends and family, have a quick drink (or two) and go home early to prepare for Santa.
2. Go for a Christmas morning run…
Get your Christmas Day off to a healthy start by taking part in a special Parkrun in Tralee at the usual time of 9.30am. There’s also a Parkrun in Tralee on Saturday, December 30 and in Fenit that morning.

3. Head for a dip…
Whether it’s Banna or Fenit there’s Christmas Day swims only a short drive from town.
The Fenit one, in aid of the RNLI, starts at 12 noon and is the biggest in the county with upwards of 800 people regularly taking part. For slightly later risers, the Banna swim takes place at 12.30pm.
4. Walk/run off the turkey…
Join Michael ‘Fox’ O’Connor and friends for the annual Bill Kirby Memorial Walk on St Stephen’s Day. It starts at the Brogue Inn at 11.30am but the fun and entertainment beings at 11am.
If you’re feeling more active, head out to Farranfore for the annual Farranfore-Maine Valley AC St Stephen’s Day 5k Run and 2k Walk. The run takes place at 11am and the Walk for families earlier at 10.20am.
