A little piece of history was created on Monday evening when it was announced that the proceeds from the 28th North West 10k brought the charity event over the €1m mark for the first time.
The event saw cheques presented to this year’s benefitting charities.
Just shy of €984,000 had been raised over the previous 27 years so all eyes were focused on 10k Chairperson Neil Martin when he came to the podium to announce that over €34,800 had been raised from the 2025 charity run and walk.
And that means the total raised since 1997 is now a highly impressive €1m and 18 thousand – (€1,018,000).
The two benefitting charities from this year’s race were Donegal Horizons and Multiple Sclerosis, Donegal Branch and they each received cheques of almost €17,500.
In all 41 charities have received support from the North West 10k since it began in 1997.
