This year’s Irish Life Dublin Marathon will start and finish in the city centre despite previous calls from Dublin City Council and the National Transport Authority (NTA) to move it elsewhere due to public transport disruption.

The race on Sunday, October 27 will begin on Lesson Street Lower and finish on Mount Street Upper, with both the start and finish remaining within the Dublin 2 area. The course will follow a similar route to 2023 and it will be released once it’s signed off by all statutory bodies.
