Every Mile Has a Purpose: Noel Gaule’s Sensory Playground Mission

Noel Gaule is running the Dublin Marathon 2026 to help create a sensory playground for autistic children at a school in Virginia, Co. Cavan.

This October, we’re proudly cheering on Noel Gaule and our incredible runners as they take on the Irish Life Dublin Marathon on 25 October 2026 in support of the Keith Duffy Foundation.

For Noel, it’s about so much more than crossing the finish line.

A space to play, explore and thrive

Noel’s fundraising will help create a much-needed sensory playground at a school in Virginia, Co. Cavan, providing an inclusive space for children with autism to play, explore and thrive.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone putting in the miles, raising awareness and helping us make a real difference in local communities. Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to making this happen.
