The 2023 Cook Medical Mini Marathon will return to the University of Limerick on Sunday 8th October!
Last year’s event saw the name change from “Women’s Mini Marathon” to “Mini Marathon” in an effort to welcome everyone to come together to take part. Over the last three years, the event has raised over €100,000 for local charities. Event organisers hope that this years all-inclusive race will continue to raise much-needed funds for charity.
The event kicks off at noon on Sunday 8th October, at the University of Limerick Sports Arena. Participants of all ages will run, jog, or walk the 5 km and 10 km courses at their own pace while raising funds for personally chosen charities in Limerick, the Mid-West, and nationwide.
Every hour someone in Ireland suffers from a stroke. Every day, hundreds of Irish people are diagnosed with heart disease.
The lives of these people are often cut tragically short. Many are left disabled. Almost 9,000 people die each year, making heart disease and stroke one of the nation’s biggest killers.
It shouldn’t be this way and this fact forms our reason for being. We are the nation’s heart and stroke charity.
Our mission is to effect positive change in the lifestyles of Irish people, to achieve better outcomes for those affected by heart disease and stroke and to challenge when the health of our nation is put at risk.
We empower people to live longer, healthier lives. Thank you for choosing to support us.
