    I'll be visiting Dublin very soon and I'm staying in the city centre. Looking to catch a parkrun and I will be travelling by foot to the parkrun, so looking at Google maps, Fairview and Poolbeg are the closest events in different directions. Would anyone recommend one over the other? Don't know anything about either event and I can't decide!

    I have only done the Poolbeg parkrun. Nice route with a little hill in the middle. A very friendly core team and those running, as with other parkruns, are also the same.

    Fairview is very friendly too, three laps of a nice park, dedicated core team and the best parkrun volunteer in Ireland marshalling at the footbridge. 😊 mixture of tarmac and grass. Both are an easy jog from the city centre or easily accessible via bus/DART. Enjoy either way.
