Vhi, presenting partner of parkrun and title sponsor of the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon is calling on walkers, joggers and runners of all ages and abilities to join the Vhi Run Squad in kick-starting their training 7 weeks out from the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon on Bank holiday Sunday, 3rd June at 2pm.
Vhi and the Garrihys will attend two parkruns on Saturday 14th April. Doireann and Ailbhe will visit Porterstown parkrun in Dublin 15 while Aoibhín and Claire will take part in the Lees Road parkrun in Co. Clare with both events commencing at 9.30am. Vhi will be on hand in helping newcomers and regular parkrun participants refuel after their morning exercise and providing refreshments at the finish line. Over the course of the 7 weeks, the Garrihys will document their journey to the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon across their social media platforms helping to motivate and inspire women around the country.
