Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club will run its annual Christmas Charity Walk on December 28.

This year’s event will start from Killarney Racecourse as opposed to the traditional starting point at the Innisfallen Hotel in Fossa.

Organisers are concerned about crowd gathering rules in these COVID-19 times and the switch to the new venue will allow for outdoor registration.

This year’s walk will raise money for ADAPT Kerry Women’s Refuge in Tralee, and two routes are on offer.

“The walk by Ross Castle and the Coppermines will be around 4km to 5km in length,” explained one of the event’s organisers, Tom Leslie. “The longer walk of around 10km will go through Knockreer.”

Registration begins at 10am and the first walkers will depart around 12 noon.

The annual Killarney Regatta Dance took place on September 25 as rowers, families and supporters came together to celebrate their successful year.

The racing was cancelled in September due to bad weather.

The Killarney Regatta is one of Ireland’s oldest rowing events, having first begun in 1788.

The dance took place at the Killarney Oaks Hotel where there was a lot of excitement and fun. Six rowing clubs, Fossa, Workman’s, St Brendan’s, Commercials, Flesk Valley, and Muckross, came together to celebrate the community and its shared history.

Amelia Counihan was crowned as the Regatta Queen.

The Queen represents the spirit pride and grace of the rowing community and has been a tradition in the club for generations.

Workman’s Rowing Club congratulated Amelia and described her as a woman who embodies everything that their tradition stands for.

The club said: “Queen is more than a title — it is a celebration of history, community, and the spirit of Killarney rowing.”
