OVER 350 people of all ages gathered at the Tralee Bay Wetlands on Sunday morning for the Crumlin Colour Dash.
Organised by Micheál Dillon of Kinetic Health And Fitness in Monavalley, it saw people take off at 11am on a 5k route where they were pelted with powdered paint at various points.
“We’re delighted with the turnout,” said Micheál. “The weather wasn’t great this morning so we didn’t think so many people would show up. But we got lucky as it’s dried up now.
“I’m running the New York Marathon in November as well for Crumlin Hospital with a group of around 40 other runners from around Ireland,” added Micheál.
Micheál wanted to thank Louis Byrne’s Spar, Vitality Chiropractic and Terry’s Butchers for their sponsorship of the event. Scroll down for photos (we’ll have many more later)…
