SOME 15,000 runners are expected to take part in the Dublin Marathon today with road closures and public transport diversions expected.
Runners will depart from Fitzwilliam Street at 9am with the 26.2 mile route taking them up through the Phoenix Park, south towards Templeogue and east to Belfield before finishing up in Merrion Square.
Diversions are in place from early this morning until 9pm tonight in some places.
There will be heavy restrictions around the south inner city including Merrion Square, Fitzwilliam Square, Holles Street and Mount Street, according to AA Roadwatch.
Dublin Bus services heading southbound from the city centre will be diverted and Luas users are warned to expect delays from until 10am.
Best of luck to all those taking part! Send your pics into tips@thejournal.ie and we’ll publish the best of them later.

Best of luck to all participants today. I have just started running myself and hopefully I will be able to run it next year.
The point is that the article is about traffic restrictions and contains no information about those restrictions. It’s just a headline devoid of substance. If you open a new box of cornflakes only to find it empty you would be passed off.
Yes, it’s a great day and yes the information is available elsewhere. That still does not alter the point.
Cue begrudger giving out about the traffic restrictions. Best of luck to everyone participating today. A great day run and supported by great people.
David I’m not a begrudger by any means and I wish them all good luck today but if the journal are going to do an article about traffic restrictions I don’t see why they don’t put the route up
I’m sure you could find that out yourself….

Man uses internet to give out but doesn’t use internet to find the answer to his question
cue the begrudgers giving out about begrudgers exercising their right to begrudge. best of luck to all today.
Yes David well i rather be that guy then the sad one that looks for attention and confrontation at 8am on a Bank Holiday.
Good luck to them all, a great achievement made all the better by the money they will raise for good causes.
Nice to start the day with a good story.
