Some of Galway's most recognisable charities are looking for eager and active local women to take part in the Flora Women's Mini Marathon on June 1. Croí, GOAL West of Ireland, and the Galway Rape Crisis Centre are just a few of the charities who have all put forth requests this week to get the women of Galway behind them to raise money for their worthy causes.
The 10k marathon, which starts at St Stephens Green in Dublin and ends in Fitzwilliam Square, is strictly for women only and will go to benefit numerous local, national, and international charities that effect Irish women. The marathon begins at 3pm on the June Bank Holiday Monday and entry fees are €22 for those runners/joggers/walkers who elect to use a timing chip and €15 for those who opt out of the device.
To register visit the marathon website or fill out the entry form in the Evening Herald on Wednesday or Saturday. Then contact the participating local charity (full list below) of your choice for sponsorship forms. Registration ends April 21 or when the maximum number of entries is recieved.
