Take on the Dublin Marathon and get ready to feel the exhilaration and the exhaustion of a challenging run. And as you cross the finish line, you'll feel sublime, knowing you're helping people living with dementia.
The Dublin Marathon has come a long way since it's start in 1980. Dublin may not be the biggest race, but it has gained a reputation as one of the best organised city marathons. The crowd support in Dublin is amazing, there are very few stretches without spectators.
The start of the race is on Fitzwilliam Upper Street and the finish is at Merrion Square North, easily accessible from the city centre. The course is mostly flat with a long stretch through Phoenix Park, but one long uphill section at mile 21 is a test!
