Results & Photosof the Tralee Marathon & Half-Marathon...Sun 18th March 2018


The annual Tralee Marathon & Half-Marathon was held this year on Sunday the 18th of March on what was a cold but dry overcast day.

As can be seen from the chart above, the numbers for the marathon continue to decline and were down 31% this year to just 139 runners. Spread out over 26 miles, it makes for a lonely race, especially in the second half. If the numbers continue to decline, you'd have to wonder if they will drop the full marathon altogether?

The numbers for the half-marathon held up this year after three years of decline. A 5k and 10k were introduced last year and those numbers were up this year with 132 and 144 taking part respectively.

Notice...Kenmare Bridge Run 5k & 10k road race - Sat 31st March 2018

The annual Kenmare Bridge Run 5km & 10 km road race in Co.Kerry is coming up on Saturday the 31st of March 2018 at 12:30pm.


As always, the race headquarters is at the local community centre...


This is a map of the two courses.....


Transport will be provided for anyone doing the 5k to take them from the Community Centre to the start line at the Sheen Falls Lodge. Most runners would probably use this section as a warm up for the race itself as the distance is only around 1.4 miles / 2kms.

You can enter on the day of the race from 10:30am.

Organised by Kenmare AC
