About this race
The Tralee Half Marathon begins at the Aqua Dome and concludes on Neil Armstrong Way, offering a scenic tour of the North Kerry landscape. The 13.1-mile route leads participants from Tralee to the historic town of Ardfert before returning through the picturesque coastal areas of the Spa and the Kerries. Runners enjoy breathtaking views of the Atlantic coastline and the rugged beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way as they navigate the local hinterland. The terrain is primarily flat and fast, consisting of well-maintained tarmac roads with occasional gentle inclines to keep the course interesting. With its vibrant atmosphere and strong community support, this professionally timed event provides an unforgettable and high-spirited finish in the heart of Tralee.
Course profile & record eligibility
World Athletics record-eligibility rules cap net elevation loss at 1m per km of race distance, and require the start and finish to be no more than 50% of the race distance apart — both meant to stop a course gaining an unfair edge from downhill grade or a point-to-point tailwind. This is based on this course's recorded elevation and GPS data, not an official measurement or certification.
