Dublin Marathon Organisers encouraging Irish runners to lace up in 2010


It’s that time of year again when the nation lets out a deep sigh and resigns to make amends for the indulgences of the Festive Season. If you’re thinking about making your New Years Resolutions then the Lifestyle Sports-adidas Dublin Marathon organisers are looking to encourage you to make a resolution to run the 31st Dublin Marathon on 25th October.

Last year saw the highest number of Irish entrants take on the Marathon Challenge, with the largest ever field taking to the streets of Dublin for the annual event. Organisers are hoping to keep the momentum going and are calling on all runners to lace up for 2010.

To encourage those running virgins out there, they are offering 12 first time marathon runners from around the country free entry to the Marathon and the race series, a training programme, and a full set of adidas technical running gear to get them kitted out and ready for the off.

Running is the ideal way of keeping fit and healthy, especially when times are tighter – the only investment you need to make is in a good pair of running shoes. Anyone can do a marathon with a little motivation and a training plan to suit your lifestyle, and of course, everyone should get a health check before embarking on any new fitness regime.

First time runners lace up now and e-mail marathon@whpr.ie to be a part of the Lifestyle Sports-adidas Dublin Marathon virgin dozen and make your new years resolution one to remember.
