DUBLIN MARATHON 2026 3:10

Went through halfway in 1:26, still feeling good and just off the pace needed for the 2:59 I was chasing. But after 30K, everything started going downhill, and I crossed the finish line in 3:10.
Disappointed? Absolutely. But that's marathon running. You can put in the miles, do the training, and arrive with a goal, but you can't control the conditions or how your body responds on the day. 🌧️💨
Dublin threw everything at us today, and fair play to everyone who got out there and battled those conditions. 👏
Dublin is one of the best marathons in the world, but in my opinion, it's also one of the hardest places to break that sub-3 barrier. The course, the hills, the weather, the atmosphere — it takes some day to get everything right!
Massive congratulations to everyone who achieved their goals today. Enjoy every minute of it because you never know when that perfect day will come.
As for me, I'll be disappointed for a little while, take the positives, recover, and go again. Another day, another marathon, another shot at that sub-3. 🫡

This isn’t a hike. It’s an adventure. 🥾✨

With some of the most spectacular views in Wicklow, this is one of my favourite stages of the Wicklow Way, overlooking the breathtaking Guinness Lake.

And I’m so excited to announce that there are only a limited number of spaces left for our next adventure on Sunday, 15th November.

What’s included:

✨ Cacao welcome
🥾 Guided 14–15km Wicklow Way experience
🧘 Meditation and a short talk on Being Your Best Self This Winter
🍰 Delicious baked goods
📸 Private WhatsApp group to connect and share photos
💛 Beautiful people, fresh air, connection and time away from everyday life
🚌Bus back to the location

Open to both men and women who want to get outdoors, clear their heads, meet new people and experience something a little different.

You don’t need to be an experienced hiker. If you can comfortably walk 10K in around two hours on the flat, this is the perfect next adventure for you.

Sunday, 15th November | Limited spaces remaining

Come for the walk. Leave with a clearer head and a fuller heart. 💛

Back in June i ran my first ever 50K, easy pace along the Canals from Dun Laoghaire to Kilcock,
This time there was a race number, a start line, a finish line and 5 hours of mountains standing between the 2
The legs hurt. The climbs hurt more. 😂
But the feeling crossing that finish line makes every step worth it.
Another experience. Another little win. Another reminder of why I love this crazy sport 🏃‍♂️ 🎽
And now… maybe it’s time for something a little bigger. 👀
2027, let’s see what you’ve got.

And yes… I paid for the photos 📸🤣
So you can be damn sure I’m going to get my money’s worth and absolutely bombard everyone with them. 😂😂
Would be rude not to show them of after paying for them, wldn’t it? 🤣

I can only say… that was one tough 46K! 😮‍💨🏃‍♂️⛰️

Very well organised from start to finish, and honestly, it wasn’t quite as hard as I thought it was going to be but make no mistake, it was TOUGH! 😂

Just over 5 hours out on the mountains and finished 17th overall in my second ever mountain race. 💪🔥

46K done, plenty of elevation, plenty of tired legs, but another one ticked off the list.

Fair play to everyone who took it on today, some serious effort out there! 👏⛰️

The Wicklow Way Challenge is already halfway sold!✨

On Sunday, October 4th Jen and I are beginning a six month winter hiking and holistic challenge, taking on different sections of the spectacular Wicklow Way.

Winter can feel so much better when we have positive goals, exciting plans and something that keeps us moving forward. This challenge is about getting outdoors, moving your body, meeting lovely people and giving yourself something genuinely uplifting to look forward to.

Our first adventure will be a 19km guided walk from Marlay Park to Enniskerry.

Your day will include:

• A beautiful ceremonial cacao experience
• A guided walk led by a hiking expert
• A motivational talk from a wellbeing expert
• A lunch stop along the way
• Your own Wicklow Way passport to stamp after each section
• Spectacular views, fresh air and great company
• Optional food and drink afterwards at
Taylor’s Three Rock(not included in pricing )
•Whattsapp Group for added community

We’ll stop halfway for lunch and talk about positive goal setting, selfcare and becoming the best version of yourself throughout the winter months.

This experience is open to both men and women. If you can comfortably walk 10km, you can work towards this challenge.

Each event in the series will be sold separately, so you can join us for one section or take on the full Wicklow Way with us.

Optional carpooling can be arranged within the group only for the return journal please need to make there own way to the start line, and there is also a public bus from Enniskerry for anyone who would prefer to make their own way home.

I’ve completed the Wicklow Way before, and it was honestly one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

Bring your family, bring your friends and give yourself something amazing to look forward to this winter.

Let’s fecking go! 💚

A place of holistic heaven on the hilltops …… ##

We are back this Sunday for "We do recover" hike 2026. Last year was a powerful morning spent on the hills. We always get the best of people turning up on these. Its a great opportunity to meet new people and spend a few hours outdoors. We are all recovering from something and its nice to get a break from life for a few hours. It can be testing at the best of times. Sunday is a chance to connect destress and reset. We always head home the better afterwards. This is not men only. Its open to all and is not a race to the top. Plenty of stops along the way and a chance to hang around afterwards at @grizzlysglencullen for refreshments

Meeting at @glencullenadventurepark for 10am
