Trinity Students Share Their Dublin Marathon Experiences
The first wave of runners participating in the Irish Life Dublin Marathon started at 8:40 on October 26. 22,500 runners began at the top of Leeson Street and finished at the Pepper Canister Church near St Stephen’s Green.
The University Times spoke to several runners, including Trinity students and alumni, about their experiences.
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.
He noted that the marathon helped him learn to never give up and bond with his siblings through training and running together.
The course was open for 7 hours to allow walkers and less experienced joggers to finish.
