Story

Echo Women's Mini Marathon

The Echo Women's Mini Marathon is the biggest event of its kind in Munster. It has grown from its beginnings, in 1981, with only 300 participants, to over 10,000 participants in recent years

Whether you are a seasoned runner, on a fitness mission, or are joining friends to enjoy the walk, the Mini Marathon is suitable for everyone, with women choosing to run, jog or walk depending on their fitness level

Each year, several hundred thousand euro is raised for local, national and international charities and organisations. Each year, an estimated €1.5 Million euro has been raised for charity by participants, over the last three decades, with the participants themselves deciding which charity they will support. The Echo Women's Mini Marathon has become a key event on every charity’s fundraising calendar.
