Poor weather conditions are hampering the final stages of the Killarney Micro Track project.
Heavy rains and cooler temperatures are preventing contractors from laying down the final surface on the running track.
While it has been ready for the final track laying since September it is now expected that the surfacing won’t take place until early next year.
“The track surface requires a dry stretch of weather over a week and also no frost or icy conditions, to allow for the proper settling down of the track,” funding co-ordinator Jeremiah Griffin told the Killarney Advertiser.
Despite the delays in surfacing the running track, plans are advancing and already community groups in Kerry have pre-booked the site for events in 2020.
“The scheduling has already begun for different groups within the community for example Killarney Valley Athletic Club is planning for the New Year and the Kerry Stars are already scheduling activities,” added Griffin. “The Monastery School is also looking forward to taking on the ‘daily mile for primary schools’ as soon as the track is ready.”
