Return of Dublin Marathon sees 25,000 people take part

The Dublin Marathon returned to the capital after a two-year absence due to Covid restrictions.

Twenty-five thousand athletes competed in the event, which took place on the North Circular Road, Walkinstown, and Terenure.

The Covid-19 pandemic led to the cancellation of the marathon in 2020 and last year.

Taoufik Allam, 33, was the first to cross the finish line in 2 hours, 11 minutes, and 30 seconds.

Ethiopia’s Nigist Muluneh took the women’s title in 2:28:32

Celbridge’s Martin Hoare and Clonmel’s Courtney McGuire won the national men’s and women’s sections, respectively.
