VHI Women’s Mini Marathon
In 2026, Making Connections are celebrating 10 years as a registered charity supporting older people in our community. We are marking this milestone by building a large team of women to walk, jog, or run the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon on May 31st.
Why the Mini Marathon Matters to us…
We believe in the power of physical movement because we have seen its benefits first hand. In partnership with the HSE, our Walk & Talk programmes give older people an opportunity to regain confidence and physical strength through exercise and community engagement.
“I was stuck inside after the fall. The support from Making Connections got me through that part of the recovery I feared most and encouraged me to get active. I’ve got my mobility and more importantly, my confidence back: Last week I
went out alone as far as the shops for the first time this year” – Jane, 84
