    Hi All,

    Can anyone recommend any good places to run in city centre?

    Working on Eden Quay and looking for somewhere to go for a 30-45 minute run during my lunch break. Somebody mentioned Trinity College and that there was a track on the campus. Anybody used this?

    Preferably i'm looking for somewhere as close to work as possible but all suggestions are welcome.

    Running the Dublin half marathon in September so gonna have to get my ass into gear and do a bit of training.

    A lot of people do run around the cricket pitch in Trinity alright. Straight down either quay towards the sea would be another option. There's a pedestrian area after Matt Talbot bridge.

    Yip, that would be my route when running at lunch (which is not very often), if I'm feeling good I'll run right along the seafront as far as the Merrion Gates and back, it's a nice route.

    A nice run is straight down the north wall quay to the O2 take a left on to the east wall road out on to the Affie Byrne Road when you hit clontarf return the same route I'd say approx 9K...

    A lap of St. Stephen's Green (outside) is 1.2km so do as many as you can in the 45 minutes!
