How it works on race day

  2. They share their CheerMyRun link with you and anyone else who wants to follow.
  3. During the race you see their position on a live map, with distance and pace.
  4. You record short voice cheers, and they play automatically in your runner's headphones.

Spectator tips for the Dublin Marathon

  • Get your runner's bib number and target pace before race day, so you know roughly when they will reach you.
  • Pick one or two spots to watch from and plan how to get there; big city marathons close roads, so public transport is usually easier.
  • Open the tracking link before you head out. Mobile data can slow down near the course when crowds are large.
  • Use the official race app for split times at the timing mats, and CheerMyRun for the live dot and cheers in between.
  • Agree on a meeting point after the finish; finish areas get crowded and phones can be hard to reach.
