    It’s a pity there’s no other city marathon in autumn in Ireland. Cork, Limerick, Belfast all in May-June. Not much competition for DCM.

    Yeah, I can defo see your point of view, it seems like its all one way and that's the DCM's way.


    Some on here would disagree especially those loyal to the DCM organisation.



    But they struck gold when they changed it to Sunday and the bank knows this and are going to capitalise on it.

    How are the bank capitalising on this? They are a sponsor, its going to sell out regardless of who sponsers it, you seem to think they have somehow driven this process. Entry has always opened just after the last one, the demand is huge, i dont think it would be any different regardless of who sponsers it?

    First of all please dont tell me what I seem. I dont seem anything unless I've stated something as fact.



    So you think the bank would've taken it over pre last year then?
    They would've seen it as a dead duck before it sold last year.




    They see the opportunity for advertisement etc and they're jumping on it.
    Yes any successful business would do the same, the reason I say the bank is capitalising, is because its the bank who have taken it over.
    They're not exactly a charity are they.

    Yes but im sure DCM are charging them more than Airtricity to reflect the increased exposure so DCM win too.

    Banks arent charities - correct.

    So whats your point, have you even got any proof of what you're saying or are ya painting a nice little argument that suits your train of thought?

    There's Galway marathon at the start of October, and Longford is in September. But they aren't really competition. If Cork or Limerick was in the autumn, they would be smaller.

    But there are plenty of marathons abroad, and lots of people who travel to them. Probably more Irish people run a foreign marathon in the autumn than run Limerick marathon, come to think of it.

    Kbc put money into it. They get exposure but it’s not like they’re getting a cut of the entry fee.

    Maybe GFA or previous entries will come in first and then a ballot. Maybe deferrals will be in this year. They could make it bigger but they’ll need to review everything and have everyone on board. It has reached that stage now where is it make 25,000 entry spots or more or stick with the 20,000 but course, councils and all stakeholders would need to be reviewed.

    Great to see that it’s so popular when in 2012 it has no sponsor and you could sign up until end of September when entry closed

    I’ve been a big fan of foreign marathons in autumn, which is probably why I have some of the opinions I have about DCM. At this stage, DCM is as big as it can get, ie the numbers need to be limited to 20,000. This is an amazing change since when I first ran in 2005. The flip side of that coin, though, is that we’re now in the position that we need to enter DCM in November, 11 months before the race to be guaranteed an entry to a city marathon in Ireland in autumn. (My apologies to Galway).

    There are numerous other marathons in Ireland in September-November, and fantastic events they are, they’re niche. Monaghan, for example, is an excellent race, but numbers less than 130 and on forest trails is a very different experience to Dublin.

    In most other European countries, there’s either a choice of autumn marathons, or like Warsaw, two marathons, one in spring and another in autumn. Lisbon and Porto marathons within a couple of weeks, Eindhoven and Amsterdam similar, countless medium sized marathons in Germany, UK, etc.

    Maybe Galway marathon is best placed to prosper, but maybe a R n R marathon in Dublin could ease the burden too. Maybe I should stop being contrary and just cough up €83, I don’t know.

    Lots of rumours that this is the year they will introduce transfers. They will have to do something about the national marathon championships too if they are going to sell out six months in advance.

    Maybe something like London? GFA times and a certain number of places given to athletics clubs, could be something like 10% of club adult membership? Give clubs a deadline to book, and other entrants a deadline to cancel, and release a second batch of places?

    Don't have a problem booking a year in advance, at least your guaranteed an entry.
    London open their applications a full year in advance and you've no guarantee of a place.
    Dublin is an outstanding event and it is great to see it grow so much in popularity.

    Yeah, they've said in social media that theyintend introducing a refund option later in the year.

    As a runner in 2012, it's amazing to see how DCM has flourished. Such a brilliant event,a testament to the team and volunteers. Re the sponsors, I wouldn't have imagined a sponsor had any input into the running of the event and it's the same team running this, or do representatives from the sponsor get involved?

    It will be interesting to see what KBC puts into it and how it evolves.
    At the moment we don't know a lot about anything really and everyone on the thread is speculating.


    I would love to see it flourishing, we all would.



    The only glimpse of anything substantial relating to DCM that I have seen, is your man from the DCM team giving a streamed interview on FB saying there could be an increase of numbers from 20,000 to possibly 22,000.
    That and the fact that 7,000 places have gone in three days.

    This was/is my thinking also.
    DCM team make all the final decisions. KBC may ask for certain thing but ultimately it's down to the the DCM crew themselves.

    The race is just evolving and getting more popular. With such an increase in demand the best you can hope for is that the organisers move with it, and open up possibilities of transfers/deferrals refunds ect up to a certain date. Even if there was a nominal charge for a change it would be a positive move.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,898 ✭✭✭Trampas


    let’s say it’s sold out by Christmas it could really end up with 15,000 running as 10 months is a longtime in running. Hopefully it’ll offer deferral or name change up till a certain date to allow a waiting list but I believe something is in the pipeline but until it happens it’s in the pipeline. Kbc will probably want x and y (finish at the building around the corner from current finish) but shouldn’t effect the main running of the event.

    I’d like to see it finish in o Connell street but never happen

    Missed my very ambitious target, but delighted with knocking off over 11 and a half minutes off my PB. Was absolute carnage the last few kms, lads pulled up everywhere with injuries.

    Head held very high at the end of it all.

    Looking forward to next year. Time to push on-hopefully.

    Went a lot better than expected/feared, and I was actually able to enjoy the entire race.

    It was surprisingly enjoyable just to run it without putting pressure onto myself to post a time.

    So the ambition that dominated and possibly limited my running life has been finally achieved. At almost 44 years of age 00and after 34 marathons and 8 ultras I had decided that Dublin 18 was to be my last serious attempt. I trained harder than ever before since January and the effort took a toll mentaly as well as physicaly. What now is the question. I think I can go faster. I believe sub 2.28 is realistic and with the monkey now thrown off possibly even 2.26 is possible.Il give a spring marathon a go possibly Krakow if not Limerick. Its very hard to beat Dublin for athmospere even if the road surface is poor for a capital city so hopefully Il be on the start line again in October 19.

    So the ambition that dominated and possibly limited my running life has been finally achieved. At almost 44 years of age 00and after 34 marathons and 8 ultras I had decided that Dublin 18 was to be my last serious attempt. I trained harder than ever before since January and the effort took a toll mentaly as well as physicaly. What now is the question. I think I can go faster. I believe sub 2.28 is realistic and with the monkey now thrown off possibly even 2.26 is possible.Il give a spring marathon a go possibly Krakow if not Limerick. Its very hard to beat Dublin for athmospere even if the road surface is poor for a capital city so hopefully Il be on the start line again in October 19.

    Apparently there are 10,000 entries gone for DCM 2019 already. At this rate looks as if it will be sold out by Christmas. It’s crazy how popular it’s become since moving to the Sunday.

    Think running became popular because unlike team sports or 5 a side you can do it on your own time and fit into your own daily routine

    The amount of people i do see running into work in city centre every day is phenomenal. 30 min bus journey and woyld regularly see 15-20 ppl

    Running to work is probably more attractive (and quicker) than relying on public transport and/or driving yourself in this increasingly gridlocked and slow moving city. Possibly related, albeit in a very small way, factors.

    I think it is also because DCM has become an event as distinct to a race. It has captured the imagination of many of those who stood roadside to watch it. It is now a bucket list item.

    Does anyone know if DCM have any plans to sell off the remaining 2018 clothing like they did last year?


  • Registered Users Posts: 533 ✭✭✭overthebridge


    https://ganzee.ie/ have a few items on sale at the moment

    Nice one, just ordered a couple of tops.
    Couldn't remember the name of the site from last year.

    Dublin Marathon twitter advising they're down to last 4,000 in case anyone is putting the registration on the long finger for 2019.


  • Registered Users Posts: 126 ✭✭Airtel31


    Part 1 of the master plan just entered for next year just have to get the money up for Cork now


  • Registered Users Posts: 95 ✭✭wookiesleep


    Just read in the paper this morning that it's down to 2,000 places left now. Feck the presents and get it booked if you haven't already.

    I have to say the fact that they're sponsoring it is a turnoff for me already.


    I wonder if there will be any backlash for KBC in regards to the bad publicity they're receiving at the moment. DCM are probably just hoping it all blows over. They wouldn't have been my first choice for sure.

    Milk Cup? Coca-Cola Cup? Carling Cup? Carabao Cup? or indeed no sponsor at all, to the vast majority of people running the race it's a non issue. I, of course, could be way off on this......

    Have those sponsoring these other cups etc. had similar bad publicity though.

    The sponsor wouldn't stop me from entering a race. The race is sold out so i doubt it will matter too much if a few thousand don't turn up

    It isn't being sponsored by gambling, alcohol, cigarettes, arms, or some Gulf state. It's a bank, with a lot of customers in Ireland, who I bet aren't outraged enough (if at all) to move their accounts, let alone think badly of a race that accepted the sponsorship long before there was any controversy.

    I'd prefer to see it sponsored by Diageo to be honest. I wouldn't expect people to pull out of a race that they have been desperate enough to pay for a year in advance unless they were personally affected. I would expect DCM to be hoping it will blow over or else find another sponsor next year if it doesn't. Probably won't come to that anyway and the race isn't big enough of a catch for anyone bigger or better than KCB to want a part of it. Well not yet anyway. I am hoping for bigger things for DCM though.

    If the rumours are to be believed and they allow transfers then yes but so far I havn't seen anything solid put in place. It won't be that many places if it happens, they'll be very hard to come by.

    I was just throwing the question out there as it was in my head reading and hearing about them lately.


    I was thinking more about demo's than people pulling out.
    I was also thinking I wouldn't like to be associated with them if I had a choice.

    Because they went through the full legal process over a period of 10 years to try and receive monies that they were due from people who were blatantly cheating the system?

    How did they go about physically going into these houses tell me and whats up with the thousands who are demonstrating about it?


    Honest questions, I only know what I read and hear. What do you know?

    Yeah, its probably not the thread to be going into all this, actually its definitely not the thread to be going in to it. We are all happy runners around here!! :)

    But its certainly not a case of bad foreign bank evicting a poor unsuspecting farmer.

    they have said that they will be operating a refund system this year, with runners able to sell their places back to the marathon and those places then being resold. They haven't released any details yet.
