Dublin Half Marathon 2026 (20th Sept)

Just under 6,500 runners took part in the second instalment of the Irish Life Dublin Half Marathon on Sunday 20th September. The race took place though the Phoenix Park and included some stretches of the upcoming Dublin Marathon route, ideal preparation for the big day at the end of October. For Mullingar Harriers, there was three competitors taking part. In bright sunshine on a humid morning Nick Laver and Matt Johnston were pleased to remain inside the 2 hour pace throughout the race. Both put in a strong last mile with Nick pulling away from his club colleague to record a time of 1:55:02, and Matt recording a finish time of 1:58:34. Lisa McEntee struggled a bit with the humidity but kept her pace consistent and finished in 2:12:29 [MO’S].
