International elite runners competed against Ireland's top endurance athletes.
Irish athletes also battled it out for national titles.
Meanwhile, 13 runners who have taken part in all 39 Dublin Marathons since the race began in 1979 completed their 40th this year.
This group included Mary Nolan Hickey from Wicklow - the only woman to have finished all of the marathons.

Aidan Power is director of customer, brand and marketing at KBC.
He said: "This year, the KBC Dublin Marathon is celebrating 40 years and we are honoured to be part of history in the making.
"Yes, a marathon is about running 26.2 miles, however, the Dublin Marathon represents so much more than that.
"It is about community spirit, bringing together runners, supporters, family members, volunteers and of course, fans, every October.
"In 1980, 2,100 took part in the first ever Dublin Marathon, this year, a record 22,500 runners will be at the startling line.
"As sponsor, we are immensely proud to be associated with such a special event and we would like to wish all of those running, the very best of luck."
