About The Dublin Marathon

Both groups have collaborated to create a feasible plan that minimizes disruption over the October bank holiday weekend.

The marathon is a single lap course and reasonably flat which will commence on Leeson Street Lower and conclude on Mount Street Upper, keeping the event within the Dublin 2 area and ensuring the route passes through city center streets.
