Irish Life Dublin Marathon

This event has ended

Starts at Fitzwilliam Street Upper, Sunday 26th October

Starting in Fitzwilliam Street Upper, passing through Phoenix Park and finishing in Merrion Square close to the historic Trinity College, the Dublin Marathon features a fast and flat course in the city's heart.

Few marathon courses can boast a route that takes in so many of a city’s landmarks, with a highly accessible start and finish line location. The Irish climate is perfect for distance running, with average temperatures for October between 12 and 14°C.

This event will have five start times, starting with the wheelchair participants at 8:40 am. They will be followed by wave 1 at 8:45 am, wave 2 at 9:05 am, wave 3 at 9:25 am and wave 4 at 9:45 am.

In recent years, the event has exploded in popularity, forcing organisers to introduce an entry ballot. Already Europe’s 4th largest marathon, Dublin is firmly established as a bucket-list event for distance runners worldwide.
