Virtual ladies mini-marathon aims for €10m
LOUTH women are being asked to join in the 2020 Vhi Virtual Women’s Mini Marathon 10K event. which is aiming to raise €10 million for charities this October.
In recognition of the hundreds of charities that depend on the Women’s Mini Marathon event for a significant part of their fundraising efforts each year, the Women’s Mini Marathon has joined with title sponsor Vhi to launch a special virtual edition of the event for 2020.
Live life to the Power of 10 – 10k, 10 days, €10 million! The Vhi Virtual Women’s Mini Marathon will take place between October 1st and October 10th 2020. Participants are asked to complete the 10km event “their way” over the course of 10 days, with the overall goal of raising €10 million for charities.
Louth women who register will receive a Race Pack, including a brand-new finisher t-shirt and Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon commemorative medal.
For the first time ever, the Vhi Virtual Women’s Mini Marathon is offering women the opportunity to download and personalise their race number so each participant’s name will appear on their race number that can be worn whilst completing the 10km, their way, this October.
“We’re looking forward to providing charities with an event that they can harness for their fundraising efforts,” says David O’Leary, General Manager, Women’s Mini Marathon. “Our thousands of participants, who are missing our event in Dublin this year, will still be able to support the charitable causes close to their hearts, as well as meeting their personal fitness goals. We’ll see everyone at the virtual start line this October!”
2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, particularly for charities but organisers are very hopeful that women nationwide will take to the roads, streets and maybe even gardens to complete 10km their way this October and support the causes and charities that are important to them.
