With its iconic route past Dublin’s most famous landmarks, a relatively flat course and optimum running temperatures, the Irish Life Dublin Marathon is unmissable. Known as the friendliest marathon, thousands of spectators take to the streets to cheer you on and show the power of support. It's the only marathon to traverse Dublin city centre - join over 22,000 runners in 2026 and make your miles mean more. The ballot is now complete, but you can still be part of this unmissable event. Plus, all charity runners get access to the exclusive Realbuzz finisher party for free!

Why choose #TeamNWCR?

By taking on the Dublin Marathon in aid of North West Cancer Research you'll be supporting life-saving cancer research across the North West and North Wales, as well as enabling the Charity team to reach communities across the region by visiting schools, clubs, and special interest groups to spread awareness of the cancers most prevalent in our region and educate on the ways to stay healthy. 

Every penny raised directly supports our efforts to discover new treatments, improve patient care, and ultimately, find a cure for cancer.

As part of our team, you’ll receive fantastic support from the moment you sign up all the way until you cross that finish line. We'll provide you with a fundraising pack and unlimited support in the run-up to and during the event and reward you with a bespoke North West Cancer Research medal to commemorate your achievement!
