“The race was sold out for the past two weeks but we were able to facilitate extra runners this morning at a reduced rate. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, it’s a beautiful day,” he said.

This was the final race in the Tralee race series which took in the 10k, 50k, 100k, Marathon and Half-Marathon runs throughout the year.

“It’s been a fantastic year, especially after COVID and there was great local representation. I want to thank everyone who helped today, including The Huddle Bar who opened up this morning so participants could use the facilities,” added Jim. Scroll down for photos…
