12,000 expected to take part in Dublin City Marathon

Almost 12,000 runners will take to the streets of Dublin tomorrow for the 29th Dublin City Marathon.

This year marks a change in the ratio of overseas-to-Irish runners.

In recent years, more than half the field has been comprised of overseas runners, but this year Irish entries make up 57% of the field.

A third of total entrants for tomorrow's run are women.
