The National Transport Authority (NTA) had asked organisers to find a new location outside of the city centre.
THE DUBLIN CITY Marathon route will start and end in the city centre again this year, despite reports that the National Transport Authority had asked for new location to be found.
It has been confirmed today that the Irish Life Dublin Marathon on 27 October will start on Leeson Street Lower and finish on Mount Street Upper, remaining within the Dublin 2 area.Marathon organisers said they had been working with Dublin City Council to “develop a feasible solution to make this possible while ensuring minimal disruption to the area over the October bank holiday weekend”.
“It is also a substantial operational undertaking that requires careful management. Together with the Dublin marathon organisers, we have developed a comprehensive plan that works for everyone,” he said. “The marathon already takes place on a bank holiday weekend, which minimises disruption as significantly less commuting takes place compared to a regular weekend,” he said.
