Dublin Marathon set for October 27th

Dublin Marathon – Monday October 27, 2014 is a public holiday in Ireland and Dublin, once again, will play host to one of the great European city marathons. This will be the 35th year of this great event which is run through the capital’s historic Georgian streets and its magnificent Phoenix Park.

Thousands of boisterous spectators will line the route and in fact, such is the buzz from the crowd, that overseas participants in the SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon have dubbed it the ‘friendly marathon’.

The course is largely flat, a single lap, and starts and finishes in the city centre. Conditions for marathon running are ideal as the average temperatures for October are around 12°–14° C (53°–57° F). On the Sunday morning (October 26) before Marathon Monday we host the International Breakfast Run. Free of charge to those participating in the marathon, it’s a chance to stretch your legs, meet other athletes, exchange t-shirts and enjoy a complementary breakfast to a background of Irish traditional music. Participants also receive a special commemorative t-shirt.

Dublin is only an hour by air from most UK and European cities, and a large number of the expected entry of 14,500 will be made up of overseas runners, many of whom will be returning to sample Irish hospitality once more.

So why not come and experience the occasion for yourself? A warm and friendly welcome is guaranteed. But be warned, once you have tried it, you’ll want to come back again!
