The big running event this weekend in Munster was the annual Kerry Way Ultra. Contestants started the 200km course on Friday morning at 6am on the 4th of September and finished on the Saturday.
Most of the course is off road or on quiet country roads and it looks as if they got some nice weather for this years event for a change.
With most running events cancelled due to the COVID restrictions, this is one that could go ahead due to nature of the race. There are no issues with social distancing as most of the contestants end up being kms apart!

This is very interesting to me as I'm from the US and was unaware of these types of races on the other side of the pond. One of these days I definitely want to go over there and race, or at the very least go for a nice jog!
