Dublin Marathon organizers are to meet this week to decide if this year's race can go ahead due to the Covid-19 pandemic
A board meeting with the organizers will take place on Thursday to decide if the race can safely proceed.
"There is a board meeting, of the marathon organizers, on Thursday of this week," race director Jim Aughney told the The Irish Times.
"We will be considering all aspects of the matter, whether we feel it's still safe to proceed, or whether we might defer that decision for another short while.
"But either way we will be making some statement on the matter by the end of next week."
The Dublin Marathon is currently scheduled for October 25.
It is the fourth largest marathon in Europe and will see 25,000 people pound the pavements of the city.
The ban on mass gatherings of over 5,000 people is set to expire in September.
