Race notice...Castleisland 10 mile road race - Sun 21st Apr 2013


This is the second year of the Lee Strand Kingdom Come 10 mile road race in Castleisland, Co.Kerry. Considering it's location, it's sure to attract a lot of runners from Kerry, west Limerick and the general west Munster region. Castleisland is only a short distance from Killarney and Tralee and the race should be of particular interest to runners there.


This race is organised by An Ríocht Athletic Club, one of the major clubs in the county.

It's worth mentioning also that money raised from the road race will be used for maintenance of the outdoor track in Castleisland. It is the ONLY 400 metre track in Kerry and is used by athletes from clubs in Kerry and west Limerick. If children are going to be involved in the sport then they need access to proper local facilties like this. Perhaps for that reason alone, this race is worth supporting.
