Martin Hoare and Courtney McGuire both win first Irish marathon titles with times under two hours and 35 minutes

“Yep just started running marathons about 15 years, at the back of the pack, so great to be coming closer to the front, at home too,” he said.

“Running early on with Sean Hehir and Mick Clohisey in there, and Gary O’Hanlon and Sergio too, all previous national champions, just be running in that group was amazing, I had to pinch myself few times. Look, today was my day, I got lucky, so delighted. The effectively three-year delay did have some impact on the initial entry of 25,000, with only around 18,000 making it to the start: there can typically be an attrition rate of around 20 per cent, heightened here by the fact most of the entries had originally signed up for the 2020 race .

He jested that Hackett had told him to stop off by the Liffey on the way home and wade in as a form of recovery, though Hoare was more like to head straight for a few beers. Hoare ran near perfectly even splits too, passing halfway in just over 70 minutes, while outright winner Taoufik Allam of Morocco produced an impressive negative split, racing to a clear victory by almost two and a half minutes in 2:11:30, having passed halfway in 67:02, or 2:14-pace.
