Health insurer VHI is to continue with its title sponsorship of the Women’s Mini Marathon for a further five years for an undisclosed sum. The partnership began in 2014, and since then hundreds of thousands of women have taken part in the event, raising millions for charities nationwide. 30,000 women took to the streets of Dublin on May 31 for this year’s event.
The mini marathon also has the support of Dublin City Council, Intersport Elverys, Leapmotor Ireland, Evoke, Spin 1038, Citizen watches, Njuko, iDonate, Topflight and Drivalia. Pictured at the start line were Nathalie Lennon, Katja Mia, Aimee Connolly and Clóda Scanlon with Dr Linda Keaveney, VHI and David O’Leary, race director.
Also on the sports sponsorship front, the RDS has announced Gallagher, insurance broker and risk management firm, as the new title partner of the Dublin Horse Show. Details on the value of the three-year deal were not disclosed. Founded in Chicago in 1927, Gallagher operates in 130 markets and has 12 locations in Ireland with over 300,000 Irish customers.
This year’s Dublin Horse Show runs from August 5-8 at the RDS.
