About Affidea Rock 'n' Roll Dublin Half Marathon

The 4th annual Affidea Rock 'n' Roll Dublin Half Marathon will return on Sunday 7 August 2016. The event features the best of local talent with live bands entertaining participants along the scenic course. The race starts in the heart of Dublin at the Docklands, runs along the River Liffey, travelling past many of the city's historic landmarks, and finishing in the scenic Phoenix Park.

The Dublin race is part of an international series of musically themed marathons and half-marathons, which revolutionized the running industry in 1998 by infusing the race course with live bands, cheer teams and entertaining water stations. Over the 19-year history of the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series, charity partners have raised nearly $320 million US through the events for a variety of worthy causes.
