Missed out on a place in the Yorkshire Marathon then how about this one for an Autumn marathon.
This trip is a regular fixture in the Pacers running and social calendar! The marathon itself has had good feedback from those that have run it previously and there is a great atmosphere, encouraging for first-timers. It is also a great marathon route for spectators, as you are able to see the runners at a number of locations during the race. Usually the ratio of pacers support crew to pacers running is 2:1! Although last year was a record 14 supporters to 2 runners!

We sort out our own accomodation and flights. We normally travel out on the Saturday and back on the Tuesday, although this year as the marathon is on the Sunday instead of the usual Irish bank holiday Monday, travel back on the Monday is possible.
We usually stay at Jury's Inn Christchurch, which is walking distance to start/finish of race and perfectly placed for our post marathon celebrations.

Alternatively there are many other hotels/B & B's to suit all budgets, although we recommend booking early due to it being a bank holiday in Ireland as well as the marathon weekend in Dublin.
Flights - Ryan Air flights from Leeds Bradford. Currently the prices are between £42 and £63 for return flights depending on your selected times.
Aer Lingus also now do flights from Leeds Bradford and their return flights are currently £82 per person.
All welcome to join us for the craic on this annual pilgrimage to Dublin (for the marathon and/or the Guinness!)
