This year, on the Bank Holiday Sunday, 4th of June, we invite you to join SOSAD Ireland at The Vhi Women's Mini Marathon 2023!

In 1993, 9000 legends set forth in Ireland's first Women's Mini Marathon. 40 magical years later, we ask you to come add your own magic! On June 5th 2022, let's join together again, in person, in solidarity, in friendship, to celebrate everything the Women's Mini Marathon, or WMM, stands for - Welcome Myth Makers, Winners, Medallists Marvels, Women Making Millions - and show that while we stand for so much, we never stand still.#WomenMakingMagic #VHIWMM
