Are you running (or walking) today?
Thousands of women are making their way into Dublin City Centre today to take part in the Women’s Mini-Marathon.
People from all over the country, and the world, will take part in the marathon, running for charities and loved ones.
Good luck to everyone taking part in the @VhiWMM today! Enjoy and stay hydrated! It’s going to be warm out there today! Fair play to so many women taking part for many excellent causes #healthyireland #VHIWMM #GoodLuck

The CEO of the event, Kathy Endersen said: “This is the largest women’s event of it’s kind in the world. Really, we get women from all over the country which is fantastic.
“By moving it to a Sunday we’ll get a lot of people from the North as well. We get a lot of people from Europe but mostly it’s women from all over Ireland, half are from Dublin.
So, it’s a very inclusive event, women from all different backgrounds, all shapes and sizes, you can walk, jog or run it and really everyone is just coming out to have a great day!”
Millions of Euro has been given to charities around the world since the beginning of the event in 1983, and it’s definitely one we’re all going to keep up.
Good luck if you’re out there today!
