The 2025 Cook Medical Mini Marathon was officially launched at the Strand Hotel, Limerick, marking a significant milestone—Cook Medical’s 10th year as proud title sponsor.
Over 3,000 participants from all over Ireland are expected to take part in the event on Sunday, 5 October. The Mini Marathon kicks off at 12 pm at the University of Limerick, with participants of all ages walking, jogging, or running the 5 km and 10 km courses.
Each year, the event raises vital funds for local and national charities. Participants can link their race sign-up to a personally chosen charity through a dedicated online platform, Give2you, with all proceeds going directly to their chosen charity.
Speaking about the event, Race Director John Cleary said, “We’re thrilled to kick off the 2025 Cook Medical Mini Marathon, an event that continues to grow year after year. We’re especially proud to mark Cook Medical’s 10th year as title sponsor. I would like to thank them for their continued support and commitment to this event and our community. See you all at the starting line on Sunday, October 5.”
“This year is particularly special to us as we mark our 10th year in sponsoring the Mini Marathon,” said Carla DiBenedetto, HR director and race ambassador at Cook Medical. “We’re proud to continue supporting this long-standing event that brings people together to have fun, while also raising vital funds for charities. The Mini Marathon reflects our commitment to building deep and lasting connections within our community, and we’re honoured to be part of it. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday, October 5.”
