The annual 10 mile road race & 5km run in Castleisland, Co.Kerry is coming up on Sunday the 9th of April 2017...
Considering its location, it is 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.
You can enter and find a lot more info on the race website... http://castleisland10mile.wordpress.com/
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 facilities like this. Perhaps for that reason alone, this race is worth supporting.

This website contains information about some of the road races in the counties of Kerry, Limerick, Clare, Tipperary and Waterford in Munster, Ireland. For races in Cork, see the Running in Cork website which is the largest athletics website in Munster. That site also contains plenty of national and international news items as well.
