The Dublin Marathon has been creating unforgettable running stories since 1980, when its very first edition welcomed 2,100 entries and 1,420 runners crossed the finish line. That inaugural race was won by Dick Hooper, who would go on to become the only athlete to win the Dublin Marathon three times. Today, the race remains a milestone that brings runners into the heart of the Irish capital. Whether Dublin was your first marathon or your fastest, Pace42 turns that finish into an achievement made to last.
