The year 1984 was significant in Irish athletics. It was the year of the Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles. Ireland's John Treacy made history winning silver in the marathon in 2:09:56 - Ireland's 13th Olympic athletics medal. In the 1984 games too it was the first time a women's marathon had been held - Joan Benoit (USA) won in 2:24:52. Just four years before the Dublin Marathon was held for the first time.

It’s that time of year again, when the nation lets out a deep sigh and resigns to make amends for the indulgences of the festive season. If you’re considering new year resolutions, then why not make a resolution to run the 31st Dublin Marathon on October 25?
