HUNDREDS of runners took off this morning in beautiful conditions for the Tralee Marathon and Half-Marathon.
Over 350 people took off at 9am from Dunnes Stores in North Circular Road while hundreds more started the half-marathon at 10.15am from the roundabout at High Street.
We were there to see the runners off at both events.
