Vhi Womens Mini Marathon – Biobank Ireland

Biobank Takes on the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon 2026

On Sunday, 31 May, a fantastic group from Biobank laced up their runners and joined thousands of women on the streets of Dublin for the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon — Ireland’s iconic 10km event and the largest all-female race of its kind in the world.

Now in its 44th year, the Mini Marathon is much more than a race. It’s a celebration of community, resilience, and women coming together for causes that matter — and this year’s theme, “Because You Can,” felt like a perfect fit for our team.

Our Biobank runners walked, jogged, and ran the 10km route through Dublin city, from Fitzwilliam Place to Lower Baggot Street, alongside close to 30,000 participants all raising money for charities close to their hearts. The atmosphere on the day was electric, and the sense of pride at the finish line was something special.

We’re incredibly proud of everyone who took part on behalf of Biobank. Events like this are a reminder of why community fundraising matters — and the energy, effort, and good humour our team brought to race day made it a day to remember.

A massive congratulations and thank you to all our runners.
