North Tipperary Sports Partnership and South Tipperary Sports Partnership have joined forces in organising an exciting Women’s 10k Mini Marathon, to be held here in Thurles.
This inaugural race will take place on Sunday the 19th September next, at 2.00pm starting at Castlemeadows, following a 10k route around Thurles and finishing at the Tipperary Institute.
The official route and registration details as well as all race information can be found on the official website: www.tippminimarathon.ie
Elaine Cullinan, Co-ordinator, North Tipperary Sports Partnership stated:
“This event is open to all runners, walkers and joggers. We really want to encourage as many women as possible to come out and have fun on the day. You can download training programmes for walking and running the event from the website. All participants will be chip timed so the elite runners will get an accurate time and the event is AAI measured and certified. Come out and support this first mini marathon for Tipperary”
Valerie Connolly, Co-ordinator, South Tipperary Sports Partnership stated:
“I am delighted to be part of this new women in sport initiative in Tipperary as it is a great opportunity for women of all ages to get active and take part in the first women’s mini marathon to be held in the County. All finishers will receive a race medallion and goody bag. There will also be spot prizes on the day. The event also provides a great opportunity for participants to raise funds for their own local charities.”
All registration can be done online (www.tippminimarathon.ie) and closing date for entries is the 10th September, 2010.

Hi Derek,
I am sure they would welcome any help. Contact Elaine/Sharon at North Tipperary Sports Partnership, Tel: 067-43604. http://www.ntsp.ie . It could be hard work managing all those women – but someone has got to do it.
Are there many elite athletes entered?
I understand there may be some but we have received no info on this yet.
