Dublin Marathon 2019 pictures: All the snaps as 20,000 turn out for big day

Around 20,000 people have swarmed the capital for the Dublin City Marathon and the Dublin Live team were out and about to capture as much of it as they could.

It was a great day all-round as the sun's rays belted down on the athletes and thousands more packed the other side of the barriers to cheer them on.

It was also the city's 40th marathon - and Mayor Paul McAuliffe was on hand to give special medals to 13 runners who've competed in all of them.

Around 1,400 volunteers turned out while 5,000 people have flown in from overseas including the record men's and women's winners Othmane El Goumri (Morocco) and Motu Gedefa (Ethiopia).

It was a great day for the Irish too - with Stephen Scullion storming in 2nd with a personal best time.

Our trusty snapper was on hand to capture as much as she could - and if you were there there's every chance you're in our gallery below.
