From the organisers...On a beautiful day and on a scenic route Over 300 participants entered and took part in the killarney10mile last Saturday 26th of September for its second year. Participants from all over Ireland,from as far flung places as Minnesota, Indiana, Canada, Japan, UK joined the Kerry folk for a successful well marshalled 10mile.

Thanks to sponsors Tricel and centra(at the reeks) all money generated from the event contributes to (the track fund) at the schools' and community track project at St.Brendans college Killarney. The event is hosted by (South/East kerry track group)and (Killarney Valley AC ),with race director (Alan Ryan of the Hardman triathlon) giving time voluntarily for a great local and sports initiative.
