The VHI Women’s Mini Marathon has become cemented as an annual highlight in the lives of many women across Ireland. With outstanding support and attendance being shown for this event year and year again, 2017 is set to be no different. The VHI set out to organise a world-class event. This would enable women to fund raise for many worthy charities. This is a safe and supportive environment which, they have well and truly achieved.
The mini marathon takes place this coming June bank holiday weekend on Monday, June 5th at 2:00pm. Beginning at Fitzwilliam Street Upper, thousands of women will participate by running, jogging or walking the 10km course and finish up at Baggot Street Upper.
By now, you will have completed weeks of training. You are ready to collect your race numbers for the day of the event. Regardless of whether this is your first or 20th mini marathon, it is always important that you stay safe on the day and recognise the bodily signs that you need to rest.
The Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapist (ISCP) will be on hand during the day to help your warm up, cool down and provide complimentary massages to ease your muscles. If you need any support in the days leading up to or following the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon, contact us here at Ballsbridge Physiotherapy Clinic.
