The Vhi Women's Mini Marathon is delighted to work with an amazing group of sponsors. We have been blessed for over the past 41 years to have had the support of great companies and brands to help us host this event and deliver the best possible experience every year.

Our Sponsors
Title Sponsor - Vhi Healthcare
With over 1 million customers Vhi continues to be Ireland’s leading health insurer and is the proud sponsor to the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon.
Since 1957 Vhi has been helping people in Ireland to access great value and comprehensive quality private healthcare. Vhi’s mission is to help our customers live longer, stronger, healthier lives and as part of this mission, Vhi is pioneering a new model of healthcare in Ireland - a model which takes a holistic, 360 view of patient’s health including physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
In January 2021, we opened the doors to our first Vhi 360 Health Centre in Limerick and in February 2022 our flagship Vhi 360 Health Centre in Carrickmines was opened. A 5,000 square metre, five-storey multi-disciplinary Health Centre conveniently located off the M50. It provides customers with access to an expanded range of diagnostic services alongside a suite of personalised healthcare programmes delivered by a multi-disciplinary team trained in integrative medicine. The Health Centre is also home to an expanded Urgent Care facility meaning that Vhi 360 is now Ireland’s largest urgent care network – including our 360 Health Centre in Limerick and our Vhi SwiftCare Clinics in Swords and in Cork.

Citizen
Founded in 1918, CITIZEN has spent a century developing innovative technologies and building up its skills as a manufacture in its bid to explore the essence and infinite potential of the watch. This is perhaps best illustrated by Eco-Drive, the company’s proprietary light-powered watch movement which today powers the majority of Citizen watches sold around the world. Every year, Eco-Drive technology prevents millions of batteries from going into landfill while providing the owner with the reliability and precision that they have become accustomed to with a CITIZEN watch.
.
Today, CITIZEN is a truly global watch company that does all its manufacturing in-house, from crafting individual watch components to final assembly.
CALCUL is the official distributor of Citizen watches in Ireland, with a presence in over 150 local Irish jewellers. We are proud to sponsor the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon and we wish all participants the very best of luck in the event.
