    Must have been the first marathon yesterday that the runners had to run between cars,the roundabout at the top of Rock Street was backed up yesterday and then the runners had run around the cars.

    I think the route needs to be re drawn for it next year.

    Fair comment. Perhaps diverting cars away from the race rather than redrawing the marathon route?????

    The Town was left looking like a drug den after the marathon. There was clothes just dumped everywhere with empty bottles and silver foil all over the place. Kind of like Clab Mors bedroom I would imagine

    Yes indeed. Certainly something needs to be done to keep the cars back from the runners. The current arrangement is not fair to runners nor motorists.


    Nonetheless the event was very well organised. I guess the Marathon will go from strength to strength over the coming years.


    It has certainly grabbed the attention of runners throughout the country.


    Tralee is a popular location, to spend a few days away and take in the marathon. Besides the area must offer runners some of the best scenery in Ireland.

    Did anyone try the green ice cream cones from the shop opposite the Brandon?


    They looked delicious!

    Fair enough it must be a nice place to be though.... Inside your little head... You Kids have great imaginations.

    BTW as a side note I thought the organising committee did a fantastic job returning the town and marathon route back to normal. Fair play.

    Anyone else come across this little vid from failte Ireland??? Very proud and patriotic piece.

    Bord Failte video.




    8 million visitors to Ireland in 2013. Fabulous!


    Any visitors who visited Ireland during July , August, September experienced our Mediterranean climate and saw the scenery at its very best.


    Roll on Summer 2014. Hopefully it will be as good as last year and we may receive 10 million visitors.


    Be proud , be positive!

    In the marathon?


    Oh , the election(s) ??


    Nah! I would not get enough votes to become the village rat catcher!!!!

    Though I genuinely believe Ireland has a lot to be proud of, and people should not be slow in putting forward all the positive things that Ireland has to offer.

    there was dancing in the middle of the square from 2 to about 4 i'd say we left at quarter past 3 when my one was finished, but it seemed like the place everything was happening unless you wanted to go to a dog show in pairc an phiarsaigh.

    There was 4 guards around, but they stayed static and moved about every 15-20 mins, the young ones were messing but didn't seem to be out of hand - was a good day overall down there.

    you know i'd say it was the best parade Tralee put on in a few years, really enjoyed it but i supposed i was biased with the little one marching and dancing. she was at the start of her group the whole way down but when the rte camera showed them in the news the kiddies were at the back :(

    there was a few times i was sure the rain would come but thankfully it stayed off, it would have ruined a good day.

    That's great to hear I didn't make it in to the town centre myself.

    Unfortunately knowing this thread it'll be blown up to be a mass riot or teen orgy or some other nonsense.

    There was unfortunately. There was drumming from the Tralee Resource Centre percussion band & Zumba demonstrations between 2-4, but a little after it was over, approx 50-60 teens seemed to want to drive Gillettes share price thru the roof with purchases of shaving foam, it got a bit messy as you can guess, but at least shaving foam washes out easily enough
