Dublin City Marathon 2026

October 25th, 2026

Run the Dublin City Marathon for Make-A-Wish Ireland and raise funds for children with critical illness.

The Dublin City Marathon returns to Dublin on Sunday 25th October 2026. 

With its iconic route past Dublin’s most famous landmarks, a relatively flat course and optimum running temperatures, the Irish Life Dublin Marathon is unmissable. Known as the friendliest marathon, thousands of spectators take to the streets to cheer you on and show the power of support.

We have a number of incredible fundraisers who are running the marathon in aid of Make-A-Wish Ireland, raising vital funds for children with critical illness.

 

If you already have your ticket and wish to fundraise for us, or you have any questions, you can fill out the form below or contact our Community Fundraising Executive Molly at Molly@makeawish.ie

Together we can make a difference for children.

Make-A-Wish Ireland has one simple aim – to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions, to bring hope, strength and happiness.

With your kind support, you can help us achieve that aim.
