Donegal disability advocate and public speaker Nikki Bradley is setting out to inspire all walkers, joggers and runners to join this year’s Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon.
The 10km event, now in its 42nd year, will take place in Dublin City Centre on Sunday June 2nd at 12:30pm. Over 20,000 women are expected to participate this year.
Cancer survivor Nikki Bradley completed the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon last year on crutches, one year after having her hip and thigh amputated in a rare rotationplasty surgery.
This year she’s back raising awareness for the event that promotes women’s health and charities nationwide.

Aimee Connolly, entrepreneur and Vhi Ambassador said, “It’s been a privilege to be a Vhi ambassador for the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon since 2022 and I cannot wait for this year’s event. The atmosphere at last year’s event was incredible and being part of a strong supportive community of women who walked, jogged and ran the sunny streets of Dublin is something I’ll never forget!
