Dear All,

Hope you are all well.

It’s time to dust off your runners and get ready for the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon 2024. Entries are now officially open for the biggest and best day out of the year! SOFT are participating again in the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon on Sunday 02 June next. We hope you can join us and raise much needed funds for S.O.F.T. Ireland.

10K – Do it your way! Walk, jog or run and have fun on the day!

We hope you will encourage your friends, relations, colleagues to sign up at www.vhiwomensminimarathon.ie

When you register, you’ll receive a free optional t-shirt from our title sponsors Vhi, along with a coveted finisher’s medal to commemorate your achievement. Plus, enjoy an exclusive 20% discount at Intersport Elverys to gear up in style for the big day! That’s not all! Each of you that enters will be automatically entered into a Vhi competition for a chance to win an unforgettable holiday to Lake Garda, courtesy of Vhi partners at Topflight. SOFT will have our Famous Red Tshirts available at least for Pre Race Photo and last years one is still OK!

Both training plans and recipes are now available on www.vhiwomensminimarathon.ie to ensure you are fully fuelled and prepared ahead of Race Day. Make sure you follow @VhiWMM #VhiWMM on social media for training and cooking videos, support, competitions and much more!

Vhi members can use the online claiming tool, ‘Snap & Send’, via the Vhi app to claim their refund from their entry fees, available until the 31st of December 2024. Use acknowledgement you received on entering race.
