The organisers of the Dublin Marathon, in partnership with Dublin City Council, are excited to announce the addition of a new race to the running calendar, the Dublin City Half Marathon. The 13.1-mile race will start in the heart of Dublin City on O’Connell Street. The course will take runners out of the north of the city and will finish back in the city centre.
Jim Aughney, the Race Director of the Dublin City Half Marathon, said: “As a not-for-profit organisation, our focus is on meeting the needs of the running community. Our current half marathon consistently sells out weeks in advance, and we recognise the increasing demand for another high-quality half marathon in Dublin. We are excited to partner with Dublin City Council to make this Spring Half Marathon event a reality. He added: “With our expertise in organising the country’s most prestigious marathon and race series, we look forward to bringing another top-notch event to the streets of Dublin.”
The Dublin City Half Marathon will welcome runners of all abilities, from beginners to experienced athletes. The mission is to create a vibrant racing experience that celebrates both the runners and the city of Dublin along with its people. The theme is: “Run Together – Thrive Together.”
“I am delighted to welcome the new Dublin City Half Marathon to our streets,” said the Lord Mayor of Dublin Emma Blain. “Any excuse to show off our city to as many people as possible is a good one. So, get your runners on and start training, you could even make it one of your New Year’s Resolutions!”
