    Hiya I am running the Dublin Marathon next weekend for the first time and know very little of Dublin. My husband and three kids are coming down to support me, we are staying in Jurys Inn, Parnell Street and I would like to know where would be the best places be for them to watch the race. They will be on foot. Is there a bus service available for spectators of the race?

    Try the marathons forum instead:

    You'll probably get more responses in the athletics forum (and in the Dublin Marathon thread) - but as a Dub, and someone who is also running the marathon I'd say if your family simply walked around the corner from your hotel on to O'Connell Street they'll have a great choice of places to spectate from.

    O'Connell Street is within the first mile so they'll see everyone feeling fresh & energetic... After everyone has passed they only have a short walk over to Nassau Street / Merrion Square to watch the finishers coming in.

    Best of luck by the way! Enjoy the experience.

    Thanks very much for that didn't realise we would have been so close to both of those points.
