Dublin Marathon 2024

Join Team Orbis for the 2024 Irish Life Dublin Marathon taking place on Sunday 27th October 2024, and show your support for children and adults with impaired vision and vision loss, as well as funding sight-saving eye care services in Ethiopia.

The Dublin Marathon is a popular event, and places sell out 10 months in advance. However, if you haven't secured your place yet, you can still participate by guaranteeing your entry through our Team Orbis Ireland charity places.

Our places are limited so be sure to register your interest early to find out how you can guarantee your place on the start line.

Shockingly, 90% of vision loss is preventable or treatable. That means at least 771 million adults and children could see today if they had received surgery, treatment, or glasses. In countries like Ethiopia, when sight is restored, it means so much—not just to an individual but to their family and the local economy, breaking the cycle of poverty. The remedy is straightforward: a pair of glasses, a 20-minute surgery, or a dose of antibiotics to treat the infection. Your support will enable Orbis to conduct over 60 sight-saving surgeries for those at immediate risk of blindness in rural Ethiopia.

Once you register, we'll provide you with all the tools you need to set up your fundraising page and start raising funds.
