As thousands flock to the event, Irish Rail has announced that engineering works will affect its network, including DART and Luas services. Buses are also facing delays, particularly those operated by Bus Éireann, as they navigate around the marathon route.

To put it in perspective, on May 9 and 10, banks in West Bengal will be closed for Rabindranath Tagore’s Jayanti — a day celebrated with cultural events and gatherings. This coincides with the run and adds another layer of complexity to travel plans.

With temperatures expected to dip below average next week — highs around 10 degrees Celsius in the north and 15 degrees in the south — many may reconsider their travel options. Observers suggest that these weather conditions could further affect turnout for both events.

In a city bustling with energy from both the marathon and Tagore celebrations, travelers are encouraged to plan ahead. Authorities have advised those using public transport to check real-time updates to avoid unnecessary delays.

While the Great Limerick Run promises excitement for participants and spectators alike, it’s clear that logistical challenges abound. The combination of festivities and engineering works presents a unique challenge for commuters this bank holiday weekend.
