The North West 10k Committee is seeking expressions of interest from charities who wish to be beneficiaries from the 2027 Run and Walk. Applications should be sent to toni@letterkennychamber.com with the closing date being Friday 15th of January 2027.
Next year will also be another special milestone for the charity event as it celebrates its 30th anniversary. Save the date for the run and walk that takes place on the Bank Holiday Monday 3rd of May.
10k Chairperson Neil Martin is encouraging interested charities to make their applications now to be in with a chance of being a beneficiary from the 2027 North West 10k. “Now is the time for charities to put an application together and get them in to us. We will then interview the applicants and after that the benefitting charities will be announced at our launch” Mr Martin said
Since 1997, when the North West started, the 10k has made donations to over 40 charities. All monies raised stays in Donegal to benefit local organisations that are doing so much good work.
Following a hugely successful 29th North West 10k Run and Walk last May the three benefitting charities each received €11,012.75 cheque presentations in the Mount Errigal Hotel. In total the 10k raised €33,038.25.
After the historic milestone of passing the one million euros in 2025 the grand overall total now stands at €1,052,914.
Neil Martin spoke about the huge success that race and walk had been since starting in 1997. “It is a really marvellous community charity event. And 2027 will be extra special as the Committee celebrates the 30th anniversary. For the people who started it all it is a great achievement to see the North 10k Charity Run and Walk still being a huge success having helped so many worthy causes over the years.”
Applications should be sent to toni@letterkennychamber.com with the closing date being Friday 15th of January 2027.
