IT’S so good to see it back.

The Tralee Park Run returned to the Town Park on Saturday morning with eager participants meeting old friends after an 18 month break from the weekly event.

Participants started gathering from around 9am and there was a wonderful atmosphere and a sense of things getting back to normality. One of the organisers, Siobhan Kearney, said it was great to see everyone again.

“We expected over 150 today. It’s fantastic to see them back, some people might be cautious but we have guidelines from Park Run and we’re sticking to them. It’s a safe event,” she said.

“Many people had been asking me about when the Park Run was coming back. It’s so good for mental health as well as physical health, just having a run and meeting friends again,” added Siobhan. Scroll down for photos…
