The event has now entered its final weeks of fundraising ahead of the big race and walk taking place on Monday, May 5, in Letterkenny
Multiple Sclerosis Donegal Branch and Donegal Horizons CLG are the chosen charities for the 2025 North West 10k.
The event has now entered its final weeks of fundraising ahead of the big race and walk taking place on Monday, May 5, in Letterkenny.
Now in its 28th year, the 10k Committee has unveiled a vibrant new orange t-shirt for this year’s event. Organisers are hopeful that 2025 will be the year the total fundraising figure surpasses the €1 million mark.
Among the upcoming fundraisers will also be a Coffee Morning in Maggie’s Tavern, St Johnston on Saturday, April 26 from 11am to 2pm. A Stars in Your Eyes Show takes place in the Mount Errigal Hotel, Letterkenny on Thursday, April 24, followed by another Coffee Morning in Kilcar on Thursday, May 18. An ongoing online fundraiser offers a jersey signed by the Donegal Senior GAA Team. Further details are available on the North West 10k Facebook Page.
“All monies raised stay in Donegal to benefit local organisations doing vital work,” said 10k Chairperson Neil Martin. “The North West 10k is not far away now on Monday, May 5. It’s a marvellous community event that has been so well supported down the years. It’s going 27 years and has raised nearly €984,000 for 40 charities. We are in sight of the €1 million mark, and it would be really special to reach it this year.”
He also acknowledged the fantastic support from sponsors Brian McCormick Intersport, Century Complex, Donegal Daily, Mount Errigal Hotel and the Value Centre. Local councillors have also continued to show strong backing for the event in 2025.
