The first wave of runners participating in the Irish Life Dublin Marathon started at 8:40 on October 26th.
22,500 runners began at the top of Leeson Street and finished at the Pepper Canister Church near St Stephen’s Green.
The University Times spoke to several runners, including Trinity students and alumni, about their experiences.
“Running the Dublin marathon is a way for me to practice my discipline and resilience”
said Trinity student Aaron Groome, who participated in the race, adding it's a challenging goal that taught him to never give up.
A 7-hour time frame allowed walkers and less time-oriented joggers to finish.
Aaron Groome also mentioned bonding with his siblings through training and running together.
