Kerry...Results of the Killarney 10 mile road race - Sat 24th Sept 2016



The annual Killarney 10 mile road race was held on Saturday the 24th of September 2016 and attracted a field of 241 runners. Considering that there was a Yellow weather warning in force for heavy rain, the numbers are pretty good as many will have decided at the last moment to give it a skip. Last year, they got 237 finishers on a nice sunny day so the potential is there for this event to grow in numbers.

Race report from the organisers...
Just over 300 entered the Killarney10Mile road race today Saturday 24th of September with runners coming to the event from all over Ireland, USA, Canada, UK, Spain, Mexico and Chile.The runners joined local runners in a race that has formed part of the fundraising for the Killarney Community MicroTrack project over the last three years. With a yellow weather warning issued the previous evening, it didn't deter 250 participants and the volunteer stewards who took the decision to progress with the race. After a 9am start and a shower the weather cleared up rapidly for the runners who took to the road and enjoyed a classic race taking in Aghadoe, Killarney National Park and finishing at St. Brendan's College. The atmosphere and welcome by members of the South/East Kerry Rural Recreational Track Ltd, Killarney Valley AC ,Mr. Sean Coffey of St .Brendan's College, all the volunteers,friends, family and the greater Killarney community spirit, lifted all the finishers in an almost mini Olympic cauldron applause for all.
The winner of the event this year was Phillip Harty of West Waterford AC in a solid time of 53:51 for the 10miles.Already this year Phillip has won the Cork City Marathon, Waterford Marathon and the Limerick Half Marathon. The female winner was Deirdre Nagle of Eagle AC in1:08:43, battling through the early difficult conditions very well. The greatest individual achievements came from the Killarney Valley AC members running group who completed the 10mile distance for the very first time. One other notable achievement was Geraldine Clifford wife of the late Richard Clifford, to whom the winners cup is dedicated ,who also completed 10miles for the first time in a time of 1:59:01.Geraldine was joined in the race by her daughter Ashling, who finished in a credible position on the day. For the wider Killarney community, as a result of the entry fee, a sizeable sum was raised for the Killarney Community MicroTrack project and are big winners as a result, Thanks to sponsors Tricel and Centra at the Reeks.
Apologies to those participants who were disappointed that they received no medals on the day. Medals that were ordered 2 months ago never arrived but will be with us mid-week and will be posted out post haste.
It should be noted that runners enter events for many different reasons but the motivation of the race promoters in this event is to support grassroots participation in athletics and healthy pursuits through track development.
I would urge the running public to enter events which supports athletic clubs throughout the country and for runners to consciously seek out these type of events. Remember: those volunteers who look after the children in clubs & schools, and also volunteer in the community games movement, need your support through your valuable entry fee, to re invest in club kit,club needs, track development and maintenance all over our country. The healthy youth of today, physically and mentally, are the future of our people.

The group would like thank the following:
