VHI Women's Mini Marathon

Things to do in County Dublin, Ireland - VHI Women's Mini Marathon - YourDaysOut

The Vhi Women's Mini Marathon, an annual 10k charity road race, occurs each June bank holiday weekend in Dublin and is the largest Women's event of its kind in the world.

At the present time, it is intended that Vhi Women's Mini Marathon 10km course route will start at 12.30 on Sunday, 5th June 2025, Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin 2.

In 1983, 9,000 women took part in the inaugural Women’s Mini Marathon, and the event reached a record attendance in 2014 with 41,006 women taking part.  A staggering 1.1 million women have entered the event over its 41 years. 

In 2020 and 2021, the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon took place virtually, due to Covid-19. 

Hundreds of charities are also big winners.  Women taking part in the event choose which charity they will support and raise funds for, and any local causes gain vital funds from the event.  The Vhi Women’s Mini marathon is one of the largest one-day charity events in the country. 

The Women’s Mini Marathon mission is to organise a world-class event in a safe environment and enable participants to raise much-needed funds for charities.  We are committed to promoting the development of a healthy lifestyle for women and providing a great 10km event which they can walk, jog or run together to achieve their personal goals.

The Mini Marathon idea has been copied in several European cities - Liverpool, Glasgow, London and Oslo organise all-women events.

Every county in Ireland is represented in the race and most support a favourite charity or cause - just over half the entrants are from Dublin but all 32 counties are well represented.

The event is known worldwide - women from a number of countries have joined us (Spain, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Wales, Scotland, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, France, England, Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Japan) have all joined in the fun.
