Leapmotor Ireland is proud to announce its commencement as the Official Motor Sponsor of the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon, beginning in 2026. This collaboration marks another exciting step in Leapmotor’s journey in Ireland and underscores the brand’s commitment to innovation, empowerment, and sustainability.
This exciting partnership brings together two forward-thinking forces – the iconic Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon that celebrates women’s strength and empowerment, and a brand in Leapmotor that’s leading the charge towards a more sustainable, electric future.
“The Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon has been an inspirational fixture in Ireland’s cultural calendar for over four decades,” said Mark Brennan, Marketing Manager of Leapmotor Ireland. “The event perfectly embodies our ‘Take the Leap’ ethos – forward-thinking, inclusive, and full of momentum! We’re thrilled to come on board as Official Motor Sponsor and look forward to inspiring participants on their journeys toward a more sustainable future.”
As Official Motor Sponsor, Leapmotor Ireland will provide a fleet from its exciting all-electric range, including the recently launched family SUV Leapmotor C10, the compact T03 city car, and the brand-new Leapmotor B10 SUV, to serve as official support vehicles throughout the event. The fleet will also include the lead car, guiding thousands of participants along the iconic Dublin route, at the heart of one of Ireland’s most beloved sporting events.
Now in its forty-fourth year, the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon continues to empower women of all fitness levels to participate, supporting causes close to their hearts and celebrating strength and community. David O’Leary, Race Director of the event, added: “Our participants are driven, conscious, and passionate; they care about performance, style and making choices that reflect their core values. We’re thrilled to partner with Leapmotor, a brand that mirrors those same principles, and eagerly anticipate the enhancements Leapmotor’s presence will have on the event day experience.”
As the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon celebrates forty-four incredible years in 2026, this partnership with Leapmotor champions a shared vision for the future – engaging an audience that prioritises not just healthy living for themselves, but a healthier planet for all.
Leapmotor officially launched in Ireland on Monday, October 13th, 2025, and its innovative electric vehicles are now available through a growing nationwide dealer network. Leapmotor Ireland is proud to come on board as the Official Motor Sponsor of the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon and looks forward to supporting the event and its participants on its journey toward a healthier, more sustainable future for years to come.
