    It came along the Collins ave into the back end of Raheny , and went down the Howth road...don't think it ever went up the malahide road. It was only a couple of the early years when it went thro Raheny

    Yes, I'm thinking of the 80s sometime.

    It used to pass our house in Finglas. As I remember, it went from the Park to there and on along Collins Avenue. One of my uncles ran it twice in the early 80s.

    Ha ha- forgot the link. Here it is: http://www.rte.ie/archives/2013/1025/482668-1st-dublin-marathon-in-1980/

    Got to love the "policing" of the start line.

    haha, rather them than me, they all look like maniacs at the starts
    You'd swear it was a 100m sprint.


    The camera action on some woman who's clearly not wearing a bra is gas, if a camera man shot that on RTE these days he'd be sacked.

    Dick Hooper looks so young there.

    We'll have to get a map of the route

    They had a map of the route on display at the expo in the "marathon history" booth. Maybe someone took a picture, or the race office might email it if you ask nicely. :)
