TIMING:
- Track D-Tag
- We are offering chip timing this year, with the ChronoTrack D-tag. When you pick up your bib number, the paper D-tag timing chip will already be attached to it. You will need to peel it off and attach it to your shoelace. Each participant must wear both:
- The bib number pinned to the FRONT of whatever garment you will be wearing at the Finish Line, and the paper D-tag timing chip attached to the shoe (either foot). It is important that every participant wear both the bib on the shirt and the plastic D-tag chip on the shoe.
- You will be timed only if you correctly wear the plastic chip on your shoe. Afterwards, you can keep the tag as a memento, or recycle it in available buckets, or toss it.
FINISH LINE:
Awards & Goodies: The after party will feature “Milton Menasco and The Big Fiasco” from 12PM to 2PM. All runners receive a mug, a T-shirt, and post race party at the 317 Pub!

119 SECONDS TO VICTORY
Art Thompson story from the 2010 Dublin marathon
Last March, little did I know that the Run to the Pub would lead me to a couple of personal racing bests, the Dublin Marathon, and Black Gold. Thanks so much to Pub 317 for the memorable opportunities, and especially those final 119 seconds to victory. You see, until last year, I had never done a marathon. So, I trained for Dublin. Months later, on an Irish Bank Holiday, I ran this Friendly Marathon. Friendly indeed, the crowd support was nothing short of amazing, and thousands of enthusiastic Dubliners, on holiday, cheered me along and through to the finish chute at Merrion Square. Hours later, my legs sore and me in need of further refueling, I limped-walked along the River Liffey to St. James Gate, to my namesake Arthur's 250-year-old store-house. To Arthur!
There, seven floors up, in the most magnif-icent pub in the world, and surrounded by stunning 360-degree views of Dublin City, I ordered, and waited, and my legs screamed. For exactly 119 seconds. It was a classical Guinness double pour. Black Gold. A perfect pint, my personal victory lap, and a rewarding, comforting finish to a Bono-like Beautiful Day.
Cheers to John Amsden and Pub 317 for an unforgettable Dublin Marathon travel adventure. I'll be ready for the Run to the Pub in 2011, for sure. Erin go bragh.
Art Thompson, 2010 Dublin Marathon, 4:24:51.

Allison Curtin's story from the
2011 Dublin Marathon
The Dublin Marathon 2011 was the fourth marathon that I had run in my lifetime. I was determined to get my personal best time and qualify for the Boston Marathon. I had read about this course and it was supposed to be flat and fast. This year’s Dublin “Friendly” Marathon had over 14,000 participants, a new record. We were all packed in like sardines until mile eighteen, but the course was gorgeous and the spectators were unbelievable; so positive and cheerful. I was really getting a kick out of their passionate cheers such as (say these in your head in an Irish accent) “Brilliant job! Brilliant!” or “You’re NEARLY there! YOU’RE NEARLY THERE!!!” Unfortunately I did not get my personal best time, but I did reach one part of my goal and qualify for the Boston Marathon. I left the m
Now that the hard part of the trip was behind me, the real fun could begin! My boyfriend, Zach, and I rented a car and left Dublin to go tour the countryside of Ireland. For those of you who don’t know, in Ireland you drive on the opposite side of the road and they also drive FAST; therefore I decided to just be a passenger; that way I could enjoy all the beautiful greenery that is the Irish countryside. We saw many sights, including the Blarney Castle, the Guinness Factory, and the Gardens at Powerscourt to name a few. We also took a day to fish for Pike, something I had never done.
The trip was truly a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget. Thank you again to John and Pub 317 for a chance to do something truly special. Who knows, maybe my sister Suzanne’s name will be drawn at this year’s Run to the Pub on Saturday March 17th and I could go again!
