We'll be producing special results for the 32 counties in Ireland, so you can find out where you finished in your chosen county. We'll also make sure you can sport your county colours on the day The Women's Mini Marathon is the biggest all women's event of its kind in the world. It has grown steadily in numbers since it began in 1983 with its popularity increasing significantly over the last few years. Over those years some 440,000 women have entered the event - and the Mini Marathon had a record field on Bank Holiday Monday, June 7, 2004. Charities are the big winners from the Mini Marathon. In 2004 alone some €9m was collected on the day which brings the total since the race started in 1983 to over 75m euro. All charities benefit. The women decide themselves who they will support and many local causes gain vital revenue from the event. It is now the biggest single day charity event in the country.The event has no equals in its appeal. Women of all ages representing every county and every walk of life take part in this great Festival of Women. No pressure is put on anyone - all the participants have to do is get fit enough to walk, jog or run the 10k. It is up to each individual to set her own target. Every finisher is a winner - and receives a commemorative medal and ribbon to mark the achievement. June 12th 1983 has become a very significant date for Irish women. Prior to that it was virtually unknown for women to train in public in the towns and cities of Ireland. It was little better on the world scene. By coincidence the first Women's World Marathon Championship was also held in 1983. Though women competed in marathons in various cities, the World and Olympic governing bodies frowned on distance running by women. Up to 1980 the longest distance women ran in the Olympics was 1,500 metres (1 mile approx). The National Country Fair is the most prestigious countryside event of the year and in 2006 will be held on 4th & 5th June at Emo Court set in 150 acres of beautiful gardens and parkland.
