More than 20,000 runners have taken to the streets of Dublin on Sunday morning for the Dublin Marathon.
The race started at 8.45am on Leeson Street Lower, with actor Colin Farrell spotted among the participants.
The route goes through the city centre before crossing the river Liffey close to Heuston Station and going through Stoneybatter, the North Circular Rd and into the Phoenix Park.
After that, it will cross the river again and head down the South Circular Road and Dolphin’s Barn and on through the city’s suburbs in advance of the finish line on Mount Street Upper.
While the top athletes will have their race run by 11am, the gruelling event will continue for hours after that with some runners unlikely to cross the finish line until closer to 5pm.
A large number of rolling road closures are in place across the city for the duration of the event. A full list of those can be found here.
The weather is likely to be a mix of sunny spells and showers across much of the weekend, with more persistent rain pushing in from the west over the course of Sunday afternoon.
