Nikki Bradley helps to officially launch the 2024 Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon

Donegal’s Nikki Bradley joined a group of inspiring women who came together in Dublin to officially launch the 2024 Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon.

The 10km event, now in its 42nd year, will take place on Sunday June 2nd at 12:30pm. Over 20,000 women are expected to participate this year and the event is open to all those who wish to walk, jog or run the 10km route through Dublin City Centre.

Businesswoman Aimee Connolly; disability advocate and public speaker Nikki, from Letterkenny; TV presenter and model Katja Mia, and health and fitness coach Nathalie Lennon are Vhi ambassadors for this year’s event. They are calling on women all around the country to join them on June 2 for the largest all-female event of its kind in the world.

Nikki completed the Vhi Women's Mini Marathon last year – on crutches. The inspirational amputee was among the 20,000 to take on the 10km event in Dublin.

Nikki was one of the ambassadors for this year's event. The adaptive adventurer and cancer survivor underwent rotationplasty surgery in The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham in 2022.

The procured involved removing the middle part of her right leg with the lower leg reattached at the thigh - but rotated 180 degrees. This was prior to Nikki having a prosthetic fitted.

Between now and June, follow @VhiWMM on social media or visit the website for training plans for walkers, runners and jogger as well as nutritious recipes developed by Vhi ambassador Nathalie Lennon, and much more to support your training journey.

Registration for the event is now open online. Every participant will receive a Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon finishers medal and can opt-in at registration to receive a Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon t-shirt. Additionally, Vhi members can claim back their entry fee via the Vhi app!
