| Caitlyn Harvey was the Women’s Race Winner of the 2025 Irish Life Dublin Half Marathon in the Phoenix Park with a time of 78m.42s. |
In 2024, the two largest half-marathons in Ireland were the Dublin and Belfast half-marathons and both were held on the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of September.
The 2025 editions were held last weekend and the results show that both events grew. The Belfast half was up a very strong 15.3%. The Dublin half was up a more modest 6.2% but that would certainly have been much higher if the event hadn't sold out.
This follows the pattern of other large half-marathons around the country, they seem to be very popular regardless of the entry fee and extra costs.
We seem to have some way to go yet before we hit the peak of the running boom.
