Enterprise Rent-A-Car Ireland has been named as the Official Car Partner of the SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon for the fourth consecutive year.

Now in its 37th year, the SSE Airtricity Dublin City Marathon is considered to be one of the leading marathons in Europe and showcases Dublin at its very best to an international audience.

20,000 runners will take to the streets on Sunday, marshaled by over 1,000 volunteers and backed by the good wishes and charitable sponsorship of tens of thousands more.
