The 2026 Dublin Marathon takes place in Ireland today, Sunday, October 25.
Runners cover 42.2 km through Dublin streets, from Leeson Street Lower to Mount Street Upper.
The first wave starts at 8:45 in the morning, with later waves at 9:05, 9:25, and 9:45.
Storm Boelo hit Ireland before the race, and strong wind is the big race-day test.
Forecasters expect steady winds of 35 to 40 km per hour, with gusts up to 70 km per hour.
Daytime temperatures should sit between 7 and 9 degrees, with sunny spells between the wind.
The route passes Saint Stephen's Green, Saint Patrick's Cathedral, Phoenix Park, and Kilmainham Gaol.
Runners face a headwind toward Phoenix Park, then get the wind at their backs in the second half.
Fans can cheer at 15 support zones, including Phoenix Monument, KCR Garage, and Roebuck Road.
Road closures cover Dublin today, and the DART and Luas Red Line face disruption during the race.
The event has raised over 9 million euros a year since 2022, with 208 groups in the charity programme.
Runners who pace well will enjoy the second half, with the wind at their backs toward the finish.
