Dublin Marathon Race Series

Dunboyne Scout Group has partnered in the Dublin Marathon Race Series to staff water stations across five races that make up the Dublin Marathon Race Series. The races are held each year between June and the October Bank holiday, when the Dublin City Marathon takes place. The events that make up the race series for which we run water stations are as follows:

• Dublin City Half Marathon, held in Late April / early May – 2 water stations
• Corkagh Park 5 Mile, held in June – 1 water station
• Fingal 10K, held in July – 2 water stations
• Frank Duffy 10 Mile, held in August – 2 water stations
• Dublin Half Marathon, held in September – 2 water stations
• Dublin City Marathon, held on the October Bank Holiday – 3 Water stations

For each of the races as listed above, we ensure that we have sufficient Leaders, Parents and Youth Members (senior Cubs and above) available to help run these water stations.

In return, The Dublin Marathon Race Series reimburses the group for our efforts in manning and running these water stations across the five events. This makes the Dublin Marathon Race Series our single largest fundraising initiative across the year. Hence it is so important for us to get sufficient volunteers to give up their time, to help the group in meeting our commitments to run these water stations, thereby allowing us to secure the necessary funding from the Dublin Marathon Race Series.
