      Running for good – Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon

      The Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon is back for its 42nd year, taking place on Bank Holiday Sunday, June 2, 2024. The Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon is a 10k road race, which takes place every June bank holiday weekend in Dublin city centre.  It is the largest women’s event of its kind in the world. 

      In 1983, 9,000 women took part in the inaugural Women’s Mini Marathon, and the event reached a record attendance in 2014 with 41,006 women taking part.  A staggering 1.1 million women have entered the event over its 41 years. 

      In 2020 and 2021, the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon took place virtually, due to Covid-19.  Hundreds of charities are also big winners.  Women taking part in the event choose which charity they will support and raise funds for, and any local causes gain vital funds from the event.  The Vhi Women’s Mini marathon is one of the largest one-day charity events in the country. 

      The Women’s Mini Marathon mission is to organise a world-class event in a safe environment and enable participants to raise much-needed funds for charities.  We are committed to promoting the development of a healthy lifestyle for women and providing a great 10km event which they can walk, jog or run together to achieve their personal goals. 

      Since its inception, participants have raised over €226 million for charitable causes throughout Ireland. Participants decide which charity they will support. The Women’s Mini Marathon is a national institution, beloved by women throughout the country, and every year brings enormous cultural, economic, and societal benefits to the city.

      Entrepreneur Aimee Connolly has described the annual VHI Mini-Marathon as “the epitome of women coming together”. The founder of make-up brand Sculpted has been the brand ambassador for the 10km run through the streets of Dublin for the past three years and always takes part. “The support is unreal,” she said. “Women are cheering each other, both from the sidelines and those running with you, like, ‘Come on, we can do this’.

      Between now and June 2nd, follow @VhiWMM on social media or visit vhiwomensminimarathon.ie for training plans for walkers, runners and jogger as well as nutritious recipes developed by Vhi ambassador Nathalie Lennon, and much more to support your training journey.

      The Henry Girls

      Three sisters from Malin village have seen a slow burning rise that feels like it’s coming to a head. A recent series of Irish tours in support of their new album “A Time To Grow” have centered clear nods to traditional Irish songwriting alongside a jazzy spark all of their own, and their rise feels organic and engaging.

      Disposable heroes of Coffee Cups

      The decomposition time of coffee cups can vary depending on various factors such as the material they are made of and the environmental conditions they are exposed to.

      Paper coffee cups, which are typically lined with a thin layer of plastic to make them waterproof, can take around 20 years to decompose in a landfill due to the slow breakdown of the plastic lining.

      On the other hand, disposable coffee cups made from polystyrene foam (Styrofoam) can take hundreds of years to decompose because they are not easily broken down by natural processes.

      However, it’s essential to note that decomposition rates can be influenced by factors such as temperature, moisture, and the presence of microorganisms. Additionally, some coffee cups are now being made from more environmentally friendly materials, such as biodegradable or compostable plastics, which may decompose more quickly under the right conditions.
