Only 309 of the 50,869 people who started the race dropped out which is impressive considering that the conditions were very tough with winds of 30-40 mph buffeting the runners.
From an Irish point of view, some 434 Irish runners took part.
Two Irish women finished in the top 100 women...Margaret McMahon from New York (36th...2:57:13) and Una Plant from Kinsale (82nd...3:04:40)

Did Berlin 2014 not have over 40,000 also??
With regards to Berlin 2014....74,707 pre-registered for it. The lottery selected 40,000 who were then given race entries. 29,027 actually ran it on the day.
