Introducing the 40 Mile Challenge: A New Era of Running in Tralee
The 40 mile course offers a perfect blend of Irish charm and challenge, beginning with a scenic 1 mile river walkway that invites runners to settle into their stride alongside the peaceful flow of the river. The route then winds through picturesque country roads, where each loop features two hills, each approximately 0.5 miles long, with a climb of about 90 feet. Thankfully, every uphill effort is followed by a welcome downhill section, offering runners a well-deserved moment to recharge and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Kerry countryside.
