A traffic management plan is in effect in Dublin to facilitate road closures for the marathon.
Race organisers are working with the Local Authorities and the Gardai to ensure minimum disruption to residents and businesses along the route for the duration of the event.
20 thousand people are registered for this year's marathon.
