IT was a rainy Sunday morning as over 300 runners took off from The Rose Hotel for the Optimal Fitness 10 Miler/5 Race.

Organised by Michelle Greaney of Optimal Fitness, the event was enthusiastically received by runners and was a perfect way to prepare for the upcoming Tralee Marathon and Half-Marathon next month.

Around 100 took part in the 5k while the rest came from all over Kerry, Limerick, Cork and beyond to run the 10 Miler.
