This year we are celebrating the 41st Echo Women’s Mini-Marathon. Following the success of the Virtual event over the past two years, the event will be retained again this year, running in parallel with the 'In Person' event on the Marina, and we are hoping that as many people as possible will take part to help support the many Cork charities who rely on the event’s participants to raise much-needed funds every year.
The event is 6km and you can complete that however you want either by walking, running or jogging in your back garden!
If you can't make the live event this year, we encourage you to join us virtually in the spirit of the event on what would have been race day on September 18th, and complete your 6kThe results portal will be open from September 15th, so, if you can’t complete your 6K on the nominal date, September 18th, you can also do it anytime between September 15th and September 27th, then upload your results to download your certificate of completion
The Echo Women's Mini Marathon is the biggest event of its kind in Munster. It has grown from its beginnings in 1980, with only 300 participants, to over 10,000 participants in recent years
Whether you are a seasoned runner, on a fitness mission, or are joining friends to enjoy the walk, the Mini-Marathon is suitable for everyone, with women choosing to run, jog or walk depending on their fitness level
Each year, several hundred thousand euro is raised for local, national and international charities and organisations. Each year, over €1 Million euro has been raised for charity by participants, over the last three decades, with the participants themselves deciding which charity they will support. The Echo Women's Mini-Marathon has become a key event on every charity’s fundraising calendar. So, why not come and join us on September 18th, we can promise you a fun day out!
The Flagship Sponsor for the past 40 years has been The Echo
