THE sun shone for the large number of runners taking part in the Tralee Summer Solstice 10K Run which started in the Town Park on Thursday night.
It was a glorious evening for the event which was started back in 2005 by Jim McNeice. Just under 150 runners finished the race with Derek Griffin taking first in 33:52. He was followed by Donal White and David Kennedy.
