For the very first time, Team Make-A-Wish will have representation at the Irish Life Dublin Marathon! Known as the “friendly marathon” for its incredible community spirit and warm Irish welcome, this is your chance to run one of Europe’s premier races while helping grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

The Dublin Marathon takes runners through the heart of Ireland’s capital, past historic landmarks, Georgian streets, and vibrant neighborhoods filled with cheering crowds. Known for its flat and fast course, supportive atmosphere, and post-race celebrations, Dublin offers a unique blend of athletic challenge and cultural immersion.

Benefits of being a part of the team:

• Complimentary, guaranteed entry into the 2026 Dublin Marathon (this race sells out quickly!)
• Team Make-A-Wish singlet and race-day gear
• Personalized fundraising tools, resources, and one-on-one support
• A community of teammates committed to making wishes come true
• The unforgettable experience of running through one of Europe’s most iconic cities

Fundraising Commitment:
 Runners pledge to raise a minimum of $1,750 in support of Make-A-Wish. We encourage participants to aim higher to create even more wishes for children who need them most.
