The Affidea Rock ‘n’ Roll Dublin Half Marathon is a point to point course that starts in Dublin’s Docklands area, runs along the northside of the River Liffey, and passes all fan favourites! After crossing over Memorial Bridge, the route passes the famous Ha’Penny bridge , Christ Church Cathedral , Brazen Head Pub (Ireland’s oldest pub) , James Joyce Museum, and the Guinness Brewery. Runners continue past the Royal Hospital and Kilmainham Gaol into Phoenix Park, one of the largest walled city parks in Europe.
