Where to stay near the start of the Dublin Marathon?

To stay close to the start of the Dublin Marathon, aim for the south city centre, between St Stephen’s Green and Merrion Square: the start is on Leeson Street Lower, the finish on Mount Street Upper, all within walking distance. Ballsbridge is a handy backup, close to the bib expo at the RDS. Book early: the Irish capital welcomes 22,500 bibs for the Dublin Marathon.
