Despite fears being raised the race route would be moved outside the city centre, this year’s path will contain only minor tweaks to the usual race route

This represents only a minor adjustment to previous years, when the race started on Fitzwilliam Street Upper and finished on Merrion Square North. It means the Dublin Marathon will retain the same course consistency and familiarity. The agreement follows correspondence revealed last October where Dublin City Council and the National Transport Authority sought to take the finish somewhere away from Merrion Square North for this year’s race, given the “disproportionate adverse impact” the race has on public transport services.
Dublin Marathon organisers also announced other key operational updates on Wednesday, including an extended transfer window and refund option for this year’s race. For this year’s race, a new transfer window will open from Wednesday, July 24th to Monday, August 26th. In 2023, it occurred a month earlier in July. The refund window will take place from Wednesday, July 3rd to Tuesday, July 16th to allow for the resale of any entries.
