Sean Hehir says Marathon showcases Dublin at its best

Defending national champion Sean Hehir believes tomorrow’s SSE Airticity Dublin Marathon showcases the capital at its best where record numbers of just under 20,000 will be led out by a strong East African representation.

“I’m looking forward to Sunday and hoping for a strong showing,” said the Clare native who won outright in 2013 in 2:18:19 and won the national title, which is incorporated into the race, last year.

“The international and Irish championship field this year is very strong which is brilliant and should make for a great race up front,” continued the Rathfarnham athlete.
