MONSTERS, ghosts and ghouls were let loose in the town park on Wednesday when around 120 children took part in a free Halloween themed fun-run.
The event called the ‘Halloween Fancy Dress Fun Run and Inflatable Disco Dome’ was organised by the Tralee Chamber Alliance and the Born To Run running group to promote running as a sport to younger children.
It was also hosted to give kids a fun event they could take part in during their mid-term holidays from school.
Every child received a medal and a ‘goodie bag’ of sweets when the completed the run around the town park.
“We are really pleased with the turn out, so hopefully now the kids will show their friends their medals and we’ll have even more at next year’s run,” said Marcus Howlett, of Born to Run.

After the run, kids were treated to another event called the ‘Inflatable Disco Dome’, just a stones-throw away in the KDYS.
Zumba Salsa Tralee entertained kids with fun dancing and there were also plenty of their favourite cartoon characters for the kids to meet.
“The idea is to have more community events while the kids are off school,” said David Scott, of Tralee Chamber Alliance.
“Numbers have been good and thankfully the weather held up because there were a lot of people hanging on until the last minute to see how it played out before they registered,” said David.
“These events help Tralee, to be a better place to live and visit,” said David.
