Eoin Callaghan goes into Monday’s record entry Dublin marathon on the cusp of realising a dream.

You know it’s marathon time when a world-class runner takes home gold but a man in his 60s who has clocked up 85 races this year and a man who has literally ran around the globe take the plaudits.

IT was a return to Kenyan dominance at the SSE Dublin marathon yesterday but not without an Irish twist in the tale.
