The Irish Life Dublin Marathon will allow athletes to enter as nonbinary for the first time this year.
There will be a window provided to allow participants in this year's race to change their entry to the nonbinary category should they wish to do so. It follows consultation with members from the running community.
"We don’t know as yet how many will avail of this new category and it won’t be available until August of this year because we’re waiting for the refunds and the transfer window to finish," said race director Jim Aughney.
