Join us and Make the Magic Real for Animals in Need.

Ladies - we need you to dust off the runners and join Team ISPCA!

For the first time in three years, the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon is returning to the streets of Dublin this Bank Holiday Sunday, the 5th of June 2022.

So there’s still plenty of time for women across Ireland to join Team ISPCA.

Whether you run, jog, power walk or even stroll, you’ll be raising funds to help rescue and rehome Ireland’s most cruelly treated and neglected animals. Invite your female friends and family to participate too.

You can still decide when and where suits you!

And the best bit, with both a physical race taking place in Dublin and a virtual version available too, you can decide when and where you complete your own 10k.

To enter, just follow the simple steps below:

1. Visit Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon or Vhi Virtual Women’s Mini Marathon and sign up today to receive your race number. The entry fee is €30 for the physical race in Dublin and €15 for the virtual race in a place of your own choosing, plus a small handling fee. You must be 14 years of age or older. All participants will receive an exclusive medal and Vhi finishers t-shirt. There are lots of training tips, recipes, inspirational stories and more online.

2. Join Team ISPCA here
Fill in our online form to let us know you are supporting Team ISPCA. We’ll send you our lovely ISPCA #HappyTails T-shirt so that you can wear it when training as well as when doing your 10k.

3. Set up your own fundraising page
Set up your own fundraising page and share with family, friends and colleagues. This will help you reach your target and keep your supporters up to date with everything you are doing.

You can then set up and personalise your very own fundraising page.
If you prefer, or in addition, please request a printed ISPCA sponsorship form – see our email and phone number below.

4. Start Training!
We’d love to see and hear from you, your friends and family and even your pets! Tag and share your Facebook page or Instagram pictures of you in training. Help us spread the word too by sharing our posts on social media.

This fantastic event has seen thousands of Women Making Magic for their favourite charities for a wonderful 40 years. So whether you’ve participated before, or this will be your first Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon, please join us and together let’s make the magic real for animals in need.
