About this race
The Vhi Women's Mini Marathon begins on the grand Georgian street of Fitzwilliam Place and concludes on Lower Baggot Street in the heart of Dublin. This iconic 10k route leads participants through the city’s leafy southern suburbs, passing through Leeson Street and the vibrant village of Donnybrook. Notable landmarks along the way include the historic Pepper Canister Church and the scenic stretches of Nutley Lane and Merrion Road. The course consists of entirely flat and fast tarmac city streets, making it accessible for both competitive runners and casual walkers. It offers a brilliant atmosphere as thousands of participants move past Dublin’s architectural gems and grand public squares.
Course profile & record eligibility
World Athletics record-eligibility rules cap net elevation loss at 1m per km of race distance, and require the start and finish to be no more than 50% of the race distance apart — both meant to stop a course gaining an unfair edge from downhill grade or a point-to-point tailwind. This is based on this course's recorded elevation and GPS data, not an official measurement or certification.
