Life Style Sports Fastlane - May 18th
The Life Style Sports Fastlane 3/4 Marathon, Half Marathon and 10km Summer Edition will take place on Sunday, 18th May, 2025. The event starts at 10am, leaving you to enjoy the rest of your Sunday and bask in your morning achievements.
The race is located along the scenic settings of the Grand Canal and around the newly surfaced perimeter of Grange Castle Business Park. It has that country feel on the edge of the city. It is a very flat course with long straight lines. The route has an elevation gain of 27m over each 10k loop.
It also offers a great opportunity for runners looking to set a new PB, as the course is very flat and on a great surface. Previous results have seen 37% achieve a PB in the half, while 52% achieved a PB in the 10km.
Located in West Dublin, it is easy to reach (just off the m50) with official parking and is accessible by public transport. Make sure you get in the Fastlane and set a new PB at one of the quickest races in Ireland.
