Previous Races
The Gannon Cup has been run over at least 4 different courses since its inception.
In 2009 the race was run in an experimental new course in the Dublin Docklands. The Dublin Docklands Development Authority were the title sponsor of the race. It was hoped that running the race in the Docklands area in late in the summer would be good for crews and spectators.
From 2000 to 2008 the course was run from O’Connell Bridge upstream to James Gate Brewery. This course has proven a very challening course and has provided for some very tight races.
From the first race in 1948 the course was from James Gate Brewery to the Marlborough Street St. This was proven to be a very popular course and was only updated so as to be more appealing for specators and passers by.
