The biggest all women's event of its kind in the world.

Why not be part of it?

The Mini Marathon and Tuam Cancer Care Centre

Runners from Tuam Cancer Care have been participating in the Flora Women's Mini Marathon for nearly ten years. The funds raised from the race are Tuam Cancer Care Centres single largest source of funds and so are vital to our ability to run the Centre year round.

The Race

Women of all ages representing every county and every walk of life take part in this great Festival of Women. No pressure is put on anyone- all participants have to do is get fit enough to walk, jog or run the 10k. The only limitation is that participants must be at least 14 years of age on Mini Marathon Day.

The race will take place on Bank Holiday Monday, 6th June 2011 at 3.00pm, starting in Fitzwilliam Square, Dublin 2 and ending in St. Stephen's Green, Dublin 2. There is an entrance fee of 17 euro.

Fit4Life Programme

The Fit4Life programme is organised through the network of athletic clubs throughout Ireland. The emphasis is on meeting with people of a similar ability on a regular basis. These groups range in ability from complete beginners up to regular runners and each train at their appropriate level.

Participants are invited to join the Fit4Life Training Programme, facilitated by a qualified leader from Tuam Athletics Club. For insurance purposes it is necessary to register with Tuam Athletics Club - E20.00. This also entitles you to a years membership of the Club including 10% discount in Woodies. Training sessions are free of charge. The Programme is open to people of all ages. No previous experience is necessary and you can choose the pace which best suits your level of ability and fitness. The Training Group will meet every Thursday, starting 3^rd March, at 7pm in the Tuam Swimming Club Car Park. You are welcome to join us at any stage in the run up to the Mini Marathon.

If you require more information on race preparation, a full training schedule for the different levels is available on the Flora Women's Mini Marathon website.
