Best come prepared.
Met Éireann have warned runners of unsettled weather ahead of the Dublin Marathon this Sunday, October 29.
As well as months of preparation going into training for the event, participants in the Dublin Marathon 2023 will want to keep an eye on the weather conditions for the race.
The day itself looks fairly unsettled, with Met Éireann saying it will be “cloudy and wet” for the morning. The rain is set to clear to the west throughout the day, with some bright spells predicted later on. While there is still some uncertainty around the weather, the hope is that there won’t be much rainfall for the event itself.
Temperatures will be good for running conditions, with highs of around 9 to 13 degrees, and “mostly light to moderate variable winds.”
