Registration now open for Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon

A group of women came together in Dublin yesterday to launch the 2020 Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon. The event, now in its 38th year, will take place on Bank Holiday Sunday, May 31st.  Over 30,000 women are expected to walk, jog and run the 10K route in Dublin City Centre starting in Fitzwilliam Square and finishing on Baggot Street. 
 The Ryan sisters Lottie and Bonnie, along with mum, Morah, broadcaster Georgie Crawford, fitness enthusiast Leanne Moore and actress Demi Isaac Oviawe will make up the 2020 Vhi Squad and are calling on women all around the country to run stronger together and join them at the largest all female event of its kind in the world on May 31st. 
At the launch, Vhi revealed a brand-new finisher t-shirt for this year’s event which will be given to everyone who crosses the finish line. Vhi is also rewarding each of its customers who have paid the €25 entry fee for the event with a €25 reward which they can claim using Snap & Send in the Vhi app.  
David O’Leary, General Manager, Women’s Mini Marathon, said: "The Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon is far more than a race. It is mostly about empowerment; of communities, of causes and of women. And, of course, it is about fun, fitness, families & friendship too. It is a unique event at the heart of the culture of our country that we all cherish."
For the first time ever this year, the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon is offering women the opportunity to have a personalised race number so each participant’s name  will appear on the race number that will be worn on the day, giving women the opportunity to be cheered on and supported by the crowd.  
Tipperary women who register for the event before May 4th have the opportunity to receive their race number by post and there will also be a number of race number pick-up points in Dublin and around the country in May.
