The Flora Women`s mini Marathon is set to return in Dublin this June, bringing a popular event that has grown to become the largest all women running event in the world.

It has grown tremendously since its inaugural race back in 1983, with thousands of runners now turning out for the event every year, raising well over €123 million in funds for charitable causes. Whether you want a leisurely jog or to keep your fitness pledge firmly on track, it`s an event designed for runners of all abilities. The current record for the 10km course was set back in 2001, with home favourite and Olympic silver medallist Sonia O`Sullivan finishing in a time of just 31 minutes and 28 seconds.

The Dublin Women`s Mini Marathon takes place on 4 June; entry will be open for the event until 22 February. If the mini marathon is something you`re interested in, be sure to book your place today. A stay in one of the hotels in Dublin can not only ensure you get the prefect rest for the big day, but can also offer the opportunity to explore the Irish capital before and after the event.
