This year’s Kingdom Veteran Vintage & Classic Car and Honda 50 Run will leave the spacious yard of Ó Riada’s Bar and Restaurant in Ballymacelligott on Friday evening, July 27th. at 7pm.
And, unlike last year when the event was hit by bad weather on its first attempt, a repeat of that misfortune is not in the forecast.
A Silver Lining
It was into August last year before the event eventually got going. There was a silver lining though as the publicity generated by the postponement drew over 90 cars and bikes and wound up raising well over €2,000 for its adopted charity, Down Syndrome Kerry.
This year, the ninth annual running of the event, the cavalcade will leave Ó Riada’s and head towards Tralee to the roundabout near Ballygarry House Hotel.
Stop at Daly’s Yard
From there it will travel on by Kieldubh to Renagown Cross and on for Castleisland. There will be a stop at Daly’s yard at Fahadubh Cross.
Then it’s off down by Dooneen and on to the old road into Castleisland before returning to base in Ballymacelligott.
Down Syndrome Kerry
The inclusion of the Honda 50 riders over the past couple of years has greatly increased the pot for the club’s chosen charity – to which all proceeds will go.
Donations will be taken up by means of a voluntary charity bucket donation.

The Maine Valley Post has, is and always will be a free resource for the people of the locality and its wider diaspora.
When we started in 2013, the intention was to be a weekly, online newsletter. Over time, the site has evolved into a much different beast with multiple updates on a daily basis.
Because of its nature as a digital publication, it brings with it certain expenses: computers and cameras that require updating and maintenance; internet hosting and access; to say nothing of the time and hard work that goes into the site. It all adds up…
Our online community has always been our greatest asset and a vocal supporter of the Maine Valley Post since day one.
