66 children were delighted to get some pictures wearing their Kerry colours.

Killarney's Junior parkrun is the place to be every Sunday morning as the community-led, free and fun event is a fantastic opportunity for kids to stay healthy and active while having a blast.

It was originally set up by Jo Harty last May. Samantha Williams, Neil Sheahan and Brendan Lynch are Event Directors.

"With volunteers at the heart of the event, it's wonderful to see an increase in participation over the last few months," Samantha told the Killarney Advertiser.

"Whether you run, jog or walk, come along and join in the fun at Killarney House and we can't wait to celebrate our one year anniversary event on May 28!

"It's a 2k run for children aged from four to 14 years of age and the runs starts at 9.30am each morning. We set up from 9am. We have a fun warm up at 9.20am. We have approximately 18 to 20 volunteers needed to run this event each Sunday. We are very thankful to all our volunteers."
