Irish Life Dublin Marathon

Join Team SVP - Run for People in Need

The Irish Life Dublin Marathon is one of Ireland's most iconic sporting events. Every year, thousands of runners take on the 42.2 km challenge through the streets of Dublin, cheered on by communities every step of the way.

Run with Team SVP and turn every kilometre into support for people experiencing poverty and hardship across Ireland. The funds you raise will help individuals and families who are struggling to afford food, pay household bills, or keep their homes warm. Together, we can ensure local SVP volunteers continue providing practical support when it is needed most.
