The theme of this year’s virtual West of Ireland Mini-Marathon, which takes place  #MayoDay Weekend , May 1st – 3rd, is ‘Your Way, Your Hero, Your Say.’

While ‘Your Way’ refers to participants being able to run their 10k at any time, any location and any pace they see fit, and ‘Your Hero’ is about runners being able to nominate their own hero or heroes in whose honour to take on the challenge, ‘Your Say’ refers to the choice being given to each runner over which charity or charities will benefit from their participation.

Upon registering for the event via the mini-marathon website, participants will see a drop-down menu of local and national charities, each of which does priceless work in our communities. Runners will be able to decide which charity receives a €10 donation from their €20 registration fee.

As part of your entry a you will also receive a 2020 medal, T-shirt and new 2021 ‘run for your hero’ printable race number.
