Anna Mawhinney fundraising for Dogs Trust in Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2025

This year, I’m taking on the challenge of running the Dublin Marathon in aid of Dogs Trust—a charity that’s close to my heart. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, from spending time with my neighbour’s dogs as a kid, to dog sitting around the world, to trying to rescue a stray puppy on the streets of Sri Lanka. Having seen firsthand how much care and effort goes into supporting dogs through charities like Dogs Trust, I’d love to give back and help them continue their amazing work. By supporting Dogs Trust, I’m hoping to help more dogs get the care, safety, and love they truly deserve. I’ll be sharing my training journey here, so feel free to follow along—and thank you so much for any support you can give!

Middle of heatwave but I'm still getting in the kms - getting up earlier and earlier!

We are 18 weeks away from the marathon and I've just finished a week of training in the Spanish heat. The next few weeks are going to be tough - I'm excited to get back to the cool Irish summer in July!
