The Dublin City Marathon is a super event, a dream come true for many, and an incredible way to tick off a bucket list goal while supporting a wonderful cause.
Running the marathon isn’t just about the race — it’s about creating unforgettable memories while pushing yourself physically and mentally. And knowing that every step you take is helping children and families in need makes the journey even more meaningful.
Your participation helps us raise awareness of Jack and Jill and the crucial work we do. It’s a chance to engage new supporters and strengthen relationships with our current network, all while shining a spotlight on the importance of our services.
We are two friends who love a challenge and are both easily influenced when it comes to raising money for charitable causes. Previously we’ve slept out in the pouring rain for homelessness, along with with freezing 29 minutes in the Atlantic for hospice. This is our biggest challenge yet!
Running is not really something we have done a lot of, both of us having only ever ran 10k once or twice which makes running the marathon more of a challenge both mentally and physically.
We are running in aid of the Jack and Jill foundation as it’s a charity very close to our hearts as Bryan’s niece Grace avails of the amazing services that Jack & Jill have to offer. Having witnessed firsthand the impact they have in Grace’s and her family’s life, it makes this challenge for 2025 all worthwhile.
We’re hoping to raise €5,000 throughout the year of 2025 by completing different challenges in the hope people will rally behind us and donate to this wonderful charity. The 3 mains challenges we have set ourselves are below:
There will be more challenges we will be looking to complete over the next few months and we have decided to document our journey on a shared Instagram page; bryan_maire_2025_challenges.
We have also joined a new local running club in Galway, Get better running Galway.
We have started to meet people who have ran marathons before, getting tips and hearing stories and having the craic while running too.
People who have completed the Dublin marathon all say the same about the atmosphere and how that gets you through a lot of the race which we’re both really looking forward to on the day.
