With 50 days to go to the 2023 Irish Life Dublin Marathon, the medal design has been revealed.
This year’s medal plays tribute to William Butler Yeats on the 100th anniversary of Yeats receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature.
A quote from the Dubliner, “There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven’t met yet,” is engraved on the front of the medal.
This quote embodies the values of the Irish Life Dublin Marathon, known worldwide as “the friendly marathon”.
There is an incredible camaraderie amongst the runners who are supported by hundreds of thousands of supporters with posters of encouragement and loud cheering voices around the course.
Often regarded as one of the best days of the year in Dublin City, it comes alive with positive support, energy, smiles, and goodwill.
The spectators and volunteers make the Irish Life Dublin marathon a unique experience for runners from across Ireland and around the world.
Each participant who crosses the line after completing the 26.2-mile challenge will be presented with the medal.
