Ballymac 10k - In Memory of Luke Silles

The Ballymac 10km Run is a memorial road race held in the Ballymac Parish in County Kerry, organised in honour of Luke Silles, a young Ballymacelligott man who passed away in May 2025. The race starts and finishes at O'Riada's Bar and Restaurant in Ballymac, with a 10:30am start time. The 10km course takes runners through the roads of the Ballymac Parish, set in the rural hinterland between Tralee and the surrounding Kerry countryside. The route follows local roads through the parish where Luke grew up, passing through a gently undulating agricultural landscape. All profits from the event are donated to the Fenit RNLI. Sponsored by O'Riada's Bar and Restaurant and O'Sullivan Bathrooms, the event features trophies for top finishers, spot prizes, and refreshments for all participants at the race headquarters. There is also a 5k race the same day.
