The annual Good Friday 10km walk and run in aid of Kerry Hospice takes place on March 25 in Tralee and other venues around the county.
This year there will be a new starting point with the walkers due to get going from the Grand Hotel on Denny Street at 10am. At the finish line there will be refreshments at the Grand.
The walk has been a tremendous success through the years with both young and old taking part and raising much needed funds at walks countywide.
