Dublin City Half Marathon 2026
Run to Remember, run for research and support local people!
We are delighted to partner with Realbuzz, our marathon charity partner, to offer you the chance to take on the 2026 Dublin City Half Marathon!
The Dublin City Half Marathon is a dynamic road race through the heart of Dublin, with a route showcasing the city’s iconic streets and neighbourhoods. The race starts on O’Connell Street before heading out through the northside of the city and finishing back in the centre — offering an incredible atmosphere and support from spectators all along the course.
This 13.1 mile route is ideal for first time Half Marathon entrants or a great progressionary route for those who have completed a 10K or Team Relay distance and want to set a new distance goal.
Entry Requirements: Participants must be over 18 years old to enter the Half Marathon. All participants must complete the Half Marathon in less than 3 hours and 30 minutes.
Please note:
Your charity place is managed through Realbuzz. A minimum of £160 will be taken from your fundraising to cover the cost of your place. If you exceed the minimum fundraising target of £430 by an additional 50% (totalling £645), Realbuzz will invoice a further £35. This means that a maximum of £195 of your fundraising will be used to cover the cost of your race place.
This means that a maximum of £195 will go towards your race entry, while the rest of your fundraising will directly support people affected by chest, heart and stroke conditions.
