Really enjoyed this marathon. Even though there were small numbers, it didn't feel like that going around course. Plenty of water and supporters were great with sweets, biscuits and fruit. Big improvement with final few miles too. The stony walk way was taken out. That was tough on tired feet last year. Well done Tralee.

They ran out of correct sized t-shirts during the expo on Saturday afternoon. Poor organisation in my opinion and a poor expo. I have sympathy for anyone from outside of Kerry having to be down a day early due to the expo.

Enjoyable run again this year, I think the route change was a good idea as means the finish is much more in town. Well organised and pretty good support.

It's a challenging course which a few people (myself included) see as great preparation for Conn in a few weeks.

Surprised the numbers dropped so much this year.

Luckily a friend of mine collected my race pack on Sat as that's the one part that's annoying as otherwise would have meant a 240k round trip just to pick up a number. Personally couldn't care less about the t-shirt!
