Mini marathon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other senses of this term, see Marathon (disambiguation).
A mini marathon is a middle to long-distance road race of a distance which is less than a marathon. The term is sometimes used in place of "Half Marathon" (Kentucky miniMarathon[1]), but can also be applied to races of other distances such as 5km (Beirut mini-marathon) or 10km (Dublin Women's Mini Marathon [2]). Mini-marathons are often run as side events to Marathons, or as events in their own right.
Dublin's Women's Mini Marathon, a separate event to The Dublin Marathon, has had some 600,000 entrants since its inception in 1983.
