The medal for this year's Dublin Marathon pays tribute to Irish poet WB Yeats on the 100th anniversary of his Nobel Prize in Literature.

The medal, which has been unveiled just 50 days out from the race, has a quote from the famed poet engraved on the front. It reads: "There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven't met yet."
