reintroducing the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon Member Reward whereby Vhi customers

The Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon will have an increased

Saturday.
Kathy Endersen, CEO, Women’s Mini Marathon, said;
“It’s an exciting year for the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon. We are
delighted to confirm that we are increasing our postal entry option this
year. We had a fantastic reaction from participants when we first offered
a limited postal offering in 2018, and I’ve no doubt it will prove even more
popular this year.
“The Women’s Mini Marathon is now in its 37th
year. Since the event began in 1983, over one million women have taken
part, and I would like to thank and applaud the women of Ireland for continuing
to support and enjoy this special event. We look forward to once again
welcoming women from all over the country and abroad to Dublin city this June
bank holiday Sunday”.
Speaking at the launch, Brighid Smyth, Head of
Corporate Communications, Vhi said;
“2019 marks Vhi’s fifth year as title sponsor of the
Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon. We are proud to be part of this wonderful event and
in 2019 we are introducing a brand-new finisher t-shirt to celebrate every
woman that crosses the finish line and reward their participation.
“At Vhi we are committed to helping our customers
live longer, stronger, healthier lives and our partnership with the Women’s
Mini Marathon helps us to deliver this. We are delighted to announce that
in 2019 we will be reintroducing the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon Member Reward. Vhi
customers who have paid the €25 entry fee for the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon
2019 can claim a €25 reward using Snap & Send in the Vhi app.
“We want to encourage women across Galway to run
stronger together on June 2rd and enjoy the benefits of exercise, while raising
money for their chosen cause and ultimately, having a great day out!”
Commenting on her role on the Vhi Squad, Doireann
Garrihy said,
“We are delighted to be back for the 2019 Vhi
Women’s Mini Marathon. This will be the third year Ailbhe and I have taken part
and it will be great to have Aoibhín by our side this time around. As for mum,
she was bitten by the bug last year and has already started training!
“The Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon is a very special
event. What I love about it is that everyone has different reason for taking
part whether its fitness related, to raise funds for a cause close to your
heart or just to enjoy a day out with your sisters, mum, family and friends.
“Whatever your reason, joining 30,000 women to walk,
jog or run the streets of Dublin in the biggest event of its kind, is very
powerful. We run stronger together and want everyone to join us at the Vhi
Women’s Mini Marathon on June 2nd”.
