THE kids are made of sterner stuff here in Tralee and it showed as they braved the rain this afternoon for the  fun run in the Town Park.

Held as part of the Tír Na nÓg Children’s Festival and supported by Tralee Chamber Alliance, the bad weather meant that the planned Zumba warm up from Linda Flanagan had to wait until nearly 1pm as the rain abated.

She kept the youngsters entertained along with Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Woody and Buzz and Sofia The First, but, with drops starting to fall again, it was decided to get the fun run underway and about 80 children and adults set off on the circuit.

The kids had to endure another heavy shower before finishing with a well-deserved certificate, medal and, of course, an Easter egg, waiting for them. Well done to the organisers and those who took part despite the weather. Scroll down for a short video of the start and photos below…
