Irish Life Dublin Half Marathon : Phoenix Park
The Irish Life Dublin Half Marathon is a city race that takes place in Phoenix Park and uses Chesterfield Avenue as part of its route. Directions to the start area are signposted and a route map is published for each edition. Participants are reminded to use bins at water stations for bottles and gel wrappers to protect the park and its wildlife.
Practical arrangements include postal delivery of race numbers about ten days before the event; the timing chip is attached to the back of the race number and must remain in place for any recorded time. Replacing a lost race number incurs a €10 fee. Each race number includes a baggage label; deposited bags are left at the owner’s risk. Toilets are provided close to the start area. Buggies are not permitted in the event for safety reasons. There will be no parking inside Phoenix Park on race day, and a bike park will be provided close to the start.
Transfers are permitted only during a defined transfer window from 22 July to 23 August; transfers are managed via Eventmaster with a €5 fee charged to the recipient, only one transfer per ticket is allowed, and transferred entries cannot be passed on again or moved to another year or event. Shuttle buses operate on race morning between Parkgate Street and the park and run a return service from the Phoenix Monument after the race. Pacers are provided for a range of target finishing times and the course has a cut-off time of 3 hours 15 minutes. Finishers receive a medal, a race t-shirt and a goody bag; the t-shirt cannot be replaced if lost. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
