From the organisers of the world-famous Irish Life Dublin Marathon, the Dublin City Half debuted in 2025 and sold out within two hours, moving to ballot for 2026! The half marathon starts in the heart of Dublin City on O’Connell Street, with an urban course that will take runners out to the north of the city, finishing back in the city centre. The first ever closed road half marathon in Dublin, this race is not to be missed. Beat the ballot and make your miles mean more for charity in 2026.
