New Start Time!

This year’s Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon is starting at the earlier time of 12.30pm.

This is going to affect the time you’ll need to be in your starting area, so make sure you check the time printed on your race number. We’ll be updating our website and including information in our email newsletters with details of the new wave timings in advance of Sunday 4th June, so watch out for updates!

It could be you!

Good news. Everyone who signs up for this year’s event is automatically entered into a draw to win a fantastic prize of a September getaway to Tuscany, thanks to our friends at Topflight, Ireland’s Italian Specialist. The lucky winner will be announced on our socials in early June. It could be you!

Over the last 12 weeks, the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon ambassadors Aimee Connolly (@aimeconnolly_com), Dearbhla Toal (@belle_azzure), Lorraine Fanneran (@healthyfitbella_), Nikki Bradley (@nikki_bradley_speaks) and Emer Kelly (@emerrkelly) have been preparing for race day.

This is Vhi’s 9th year of sponsoring this fantastic event and as part of this year’s campaign, Vhi has conducted research which examines Irish women’s attitude towards walking and running.

Results have found that 77% of women believe that signing up to a mass participation event, like the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon with friends or family would help them to achieve their walking or running goal.

Vhi are strong supporters of helping Irish women to live longer, stronger, healthier lives and understand how difficult it can be to fit training into a hectic and busy lifestyle, with 50% of women simply walking or running whenever they can find time in their day rather than having a set time they stick to.

With this in mind, Vhi have worked with these inspiring women, who have been documenting their journey to Race Day across their social media platforms, to help motivate participants.

We hope they have helped you on your journey along the way and we are looking forward to seeing you all on the start line at 12.30pm on the 4th of June for this years Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon!
