WITH just days to go, preparations are well advanced for Saturday when Tralee Harriers will host their fundraising Half Marathon and 10k.

The Half Marathon will be starting at the Tralee Bay Wetlands centre at 10am with the 5k/10k starting at 10.30am.

The club has been approached by various local running groups over the past weekend asking if possible that a 5k could be organised and they will oblige in doing so. The race will follow the route of the 10k doing just the one loop.

Anyone wishing to take part can sign up at the Rose Hotel on Friday evening from 4pm to 8.30pm and on Saturday morning from 8.00am to 9.15am.
