THE DUBLIN MARATHON kicked off earlier this morning, with close to 20,000 runners following the route from Fitzwilliam Square to Stillorgan and back again.
Given the day that’s in it a lot of the participants have chosen to dress up for the marathon – but one runner in particular is standing out from the crowd.
It might be because he’s wearing a giant replica of the Eiffel Tower over his running gear.
The as-yet unidentified runner has been delighting race-watchers on his journey across the city this morning, and everyone is greatly admiring his gumption.
