Is he staying in Drogheda? I wonder if there will be a train at a suitable time. First train on a Bank Holiday gets in about 09:00-09:30. The start seems to be at 09:00 http://dublinmarathon.ie/

i know the sigh on is at the RDS how do i get to it from drogheda :mad:

You can get a train to Connolly and a DART to Sandymount. Alternatively, drivin instructions. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=drogheda,ireland&daddr=53.369811,-6.254311+to:Merrion+Rd&hl=en&geocode=FSSnMwMdTgqf_ykv9W6aIzpnSDGAvjGXqccACg%3B%3BFXe6LQMd1fKg_w&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=12&via=1&sll=53.361207,-6.231995&sspn=0.076012,0.185394&ie=UTF8&z=12

then i think the actual start is at merrion sq .

Note that the registration tends to be on the weekend and the race on the Monday.

Its a fair walk. I'm not sure your friend would want to add to his travels. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Merrion+Rd&daddr=Merrion+Square+North,+Dublin,+Ireland&hl=en&geocode=FXe6LQMd1fKg_w%3BFRzpLQMdt6ag_ynz1tbNlg5nSDEqstoMceEFGA&mra=ls&dirflg=w&sll=53.33447,-6.239035&sspn=0.019015,0.046349&ie=UTF8&z=14

You might, so I'd ask these people http://boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=972 It would be a problem at the start, not so much of a problem once it thins out. Last year's route here: http://dublinmarathon.ie/general_course.php - you could pick a few choice locations.
