Right. No messing around. The clock is nearly up.
The 2026 Irish Life Dublin Marathon ballot closes at midnight tonight Monday November 17th. If you meant to throw your name in earlier and forgot completely, this is your final chance before the window snaps shut.
Applications are still open here until the stroke of midnight. After that, you will be sitting on the sidelines praying for a refund spot or stalking Facebook groups like a lunatic. Worth the stress? Absolutely not. Two minutes now will spare you a month of moping later.
Everyone who applied will get the results in batches next week on Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th of November.
The ballot entry involves a five euro administration fee, which is taken right away. If you secure a place that fee goes towards the one hundred and ten euro entry cost. If you miss out it is gone forever, so fingers crossed.
Good luck to everyone throwing their name in tonight. May the lottery gods smile kindly and may your email notification sound not be muted when the big moment arrives.
Now go on and get it done before the clock strikes twelve. Save yourself the heartbreak. 🍀
