Run for breath, run for change
Dreaming of the finish line on Dublin’s city streets? Join Team Asthma in the Irish Life Dublin Marathon and make every mile count! Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or tackling your first 26.2 miles, you’ll be running not just for yourself — but for over 450,000 people in Ireland living with asthma.
Sign up with us, and you’ll receive a free Asthma Society running shirt, fundraising support, and all the encouragement you need as you train, sweat, and cross that finish line with pride. Let’s turn each stride into something powerful – breathe easier for those who can’t, and show what a caring community can do together.
Why run with the Asthma Society?
When you run with Team Asthma, you’re helping to fund vital services and advocacy that make a real difference – from our free Asthma Adviceline and educational resources, to campaigns for cleaner air and better asthma care across Ireland. Every euro you raise helps us empower people to manage their asthma, prevent attacks, and live life to the fullest.
You’ll be part of a passionate, supportive community committed to creating change – and we’ll be with you every step of the way with training tips, fundraising ideas, and plenty of encouragement.
