Trinity Students Share Their Dublin Marathon Experiences
The first wave of runners participating in the Irish Life Dublin Marathon started off at 8:40 this morning, the 26th of October. 22,500 runners began their journey at the top of Leeson Street on a downhill start, then finished at the Pepper Canister Church near St Stephen’s Green.
The University Times spoke to several runners, many students and alumni from Trinity, about their experiences in the race.
“Running the Dublin marathon is a way for me to practice my discipline and resilience”, said Trinity student, Aaron Groome, who participated in the race. “It’s a challenging goal that has made me learn to never give up. I also get to bond with my siblings by training and running alongside them.”
The course was open for 7 hours to allow walkers and less time-oriented joggers to finish.
