Almost 25,000 runners took part in the 42nd Dublin City Marathon today.
A new course record was set by 20-year-old Ethiopian Kemal Husen who finished in just under two hours and seven minutes.
The first woman across the line was Sorome Negash, also of Ethiopia.
The first Irishman to finish this morning was Stephen Scullion and the first Irish women was Anne-Marie McGlynn.
Roads around Dublin city were closed to traffic for portions of the day for the marathon.
The event, which is in its 42nd year, began from Fitzwilliam Square on the southside of the city centre at 8.40am, when the wheelchair participants set off.
The 20,000-plus participants were broken up into groups, which started 20 minutes apart, with the final wave departing at 9.45am.
Thousands of spectators and supporters lined the route, which saw people make their way past St Stephen's Green and St Patrick's Cathedral before reaching the quays and crossing the Liffey onto the northside.
The 42.2 kilometre trek then took in the Phoenix Park, Castleknock and Chapelizod before crossing the Liffey once more and travelling through Ballyfermot, Kilmainham and Rialto.
Participants then headed out into west Dublin along the Crumlin, Drimnagh and Walkinstown roads before passing through Terenure, Rathgar and Milltown.
From there, the route travelled through Clonskeagh, before heading past UCD and looping down Nutley Lane before the final two miles through Ballsbridge to the finish line at Merrion Square.
Like misery, marathon runners love company
A number of road closures were in place throughout the day as a result of the race.
Roads reopened once the final runners and walkers passed each point, while the finish line at Merrion Square remained in place until 5pm.
An access route to the National Maternity Hospital on Holles Street was maintained throughout the day.
Dublin Bus and Luas services were also impacted, with updated schedules available on the public transport providers' websites.
