Ballymac Vintage Club will run its first Christmas Lights Run on Saturday, December 13, starting and finishing at Glenduff Manor in Kielduff.

The event is open to all vehicles including tractors, cars and motorbikes. While many vintage and classic vehicles are parked up for the winter, modern vehicles are also welcome. Participants are encouraged to decorate their vehicles with Christmas lights.
Registration opens at 3pm and the run will begin at 5pm. Proceeds will go to the Children’s Ward at University Hospital Kerry and the Tralee/West Kerry branch of Multiple Sclerosis Ireland.
Spectators can view the run along the following route:
The convoy will turn right on leaving Glenduff Manor, then turn left before the main Tralee–Castleisland road. It will travel the full length of the old Tralee–Castleisland road, briefly join the main road and then turn left at O’Riada’s before heading past Clogher Church and returning to Glenduff Manor.
Spot prizes will be available, and organisers thanked the event’s main sponsors: BG Motors Killarney, Brownes Agri Steel Castleisland, Horan Wedding Cars and Glenduff Manor.
