A Hundred Thousand Welcomes!


A year ago, Stephen Price invited us to meet him in Dublin and run the marathon together.  Well, we took him up on it and will meet him for the first time in person in Dublin - and we'll run the marathon together.  Here's a sneak peak at the route.


This is the 33rd year of the Dublin Marathon, which is run through the historic Georgian streets of Ireland's largest and capital city. Dublin is home to a quarter of the country's 4 million people, a vibrant, dynamic city where half of the population is under 25.

In the spirit of the Irish Gaelic Phrase "Céad Míle Fáilte" meaning "a hundred thousand welcomes, Race Organizers host an International Breakfast Run the day before the race to welcome the more than 7,000 overseas runners - like us!  And many thousands of spectators will line the city streets to cheer on all the runners.  No wonder it's called 'The Friendly Marathon'
