Can YOU Help Promote the Mini-Marathon?
Cork Athletics is asking clubs and individual members to help spread the word. We would like everyone who can help in any way, to post copies of our flyer in clubhouses, training facilities, gyms, local shops and supermarkets - anywhere you think might be a suitable location....But Please ask permission to post!
If you have contacts with local charities, in particular, please let them know about the event. The biggest beneficiaries from the Mini-Marathon are the many charities who, through their volunteers taking part in the event, raise an estimated €2M to €3M for their chosen charities.
We have a limited number of A3 posters available, but we are going to print smaller A5 size versions. However we need to know how may you think you'll need. Bear in mind that many shops and facilities remove all notices periodically. It's now 10 weeks to the Mini-Marathon, so you may need up to, say, 8 A5 flyers to cover one location, allowing for a weekly replacement.

This is a Major fundraiser for Cork Athletics, without which the Board could not provide such as T&F, Road and XC Championships, Coaching Courses, Equipment & Safety Grants, organise Cork teams of all categories, and a myriad of other events & activities. It is also the source of funding for Cork Athletics facilities, particularly it's grounds at Riverstick, and, going forward, will, it is hoped, fund other future facilities.
This event is our Life-Blood - Please Help!
So...How are we doing so far?
We're doing pretty well, but we DO need YOUR help. Entries, to date, are up 25% on last year, and 85% up on the 2017 figure, but we really need to boost our event.
The Echo Womens Mini-Marathon is organised and hosted by Cork Athletics, and sponsored by Cork's Echo, for the 38th year.
The proceeds help Cork Athletics fund its competitions and Championships. In addition it enables the Board to organise training, in coaching, coach education, child protection and safety, along with grants for athletics related equipment. The Board also organises transport and accomodation for representative Cork teams.
Cork Athletics is a not-for-profit voluntary organisation. The Officers, Committee members and others who help to run the business of the Board are all volunteers, who give their time and expertise, free of charge, for the benefit of the athletes and the sport.
Cork Athletics is a designated Sports Body, Registered GS Number 3014 - Cork County Board (Athletics Association of Ireland) - under Section 235 Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997
