Park Run & Junior Park Run:
The FREE 5km park run takes place each Saturday morning at 9.30am in Tralee town park which is just across the road from us. There is a great atmosphere there and its lovely to run in the park, surrounded by mature trees. Register at www.parkrun.ie and print out your barcodes to bring with you. It is one of the best, well mangaged and well attended park runs in the country and you’ll do well to find a nicer park to run around!
While children are welcome to run the 5km park run, there is a special 2km park run on Sunday mornings at 9.30am. Its great fun and a lovely way for a family to run together. Register at www.parkrun.ie and print out your barcodes to bring with you.
Tralee to Fenit Greenway:
New for 2022, the beautiful Tralee to Fenit greenway is open. You can cycle the 14km Greenway from the Railway Station in Tralee to the beautiful fishing village of Fenit. It is safe, flat and ideal to do with kids. Bikes can be hired in Tralee or bring your own.
Fenit has a beautiful beach, playground, an island lighthouse, a pier with marina to stroll around and a monument to St. Brendan. There is a little shop and a pub for lunch. Eating fish and chips in the glorious sunshine in Fenit is the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
Fenit really is the best kept secret of North Kerry.
