Monday October 26, 2015 is a public holiday in Ireland and Dublin, once again, will play host to one of the great European city marathons. This will be the 36th year of this great event which is run through the capital’s historic Georgian streets and its magnificent Phoenix Park. Thousands of boisterous spectators will line the route and in fact, such is the buzz from the crowd, that overseas participants in the SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon have dubbed it ‘the friendly marathon’.
