THE 2020 KBC Dublin Marathon has been cancelled, organisers have announced.

The popular annual race was due to take place in late October, but race director Jim Aughney confirmed this morning that the event was to be shelved.

“We know this is extremely disappointing for all runners, especially those who secured marathon entries.

“We made the difficult decision in the best interest of the health and wellbeing of all those involved in making our events such a success from runners, supporters, volunteers, sponsors, to suppliers.

“We explored many alternatives for running the events safely but ultimately none were viable.”

All entries for the 2020 KBC Dublin Marathon and the Race Series will be valid for the 2021 races.

For those who do not wish to avail of this, a full refund option is available.
