Notice...Kingdom Come 10 miler & 5km, Castleisland Co.Kerry - Sun 17th May 2015

Now that the Great Island 10 mile is out the way, this is another 10 miler coming up. The annual 10 mile & 5km road race in Castleisland, Co.Kerry is coming up on Sunday the 17th of May...


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.
