There were 420 runners registered but 350 took to the roads at 11am on Sunday morning, travelling from the Town Park, up Strand Road, to The Kerries and back into Denny Street where a large crowd of well-wishers were waiting.
Denis Hegarty was the winner of the race in 14:32 and was presented with his trophy by Tralee’s Irish International Athlete Shona Heaslip. Rian Collins was second in 15:43
and Conor Mahony was third in 16:03.

Ciara Neill with a time of 16:30 was the first woman home followed by Amelia Clewley (18:45) in second and Catherine Fogarty 19:54 in third.
Among the participants were Rose of Tralee Keely O’Grady and 2024 Roscommon Rose Rachel Hastings who clearly enjoyed the event. Well done to Jim McNeice and his team on delivering as wonderful event. Scroll down for photos…
