Charities invited to apply for 2027 North West 10k beneficiary list

The North West 10k run and walk is now seeking applications from charities that wish to be named as beneficiaries for the 2027 event.

Organisers note that the annual fundraiser has raised a total of €1,052,914 across its 29 previous editions and will mark its 30th anniversary in 2027.

In 2026 the Letterkenny Autism Family Support Group, the Alcohol Forum Ireland Donegal Branch and the No Barriers Foundation each received a share of the €33,038.25 raised.

Chairperson Neil Martin of the North West 10k urged interested charities to submit their applications promptly so they can be considered for the 2027 beneficiary list. “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,” he said.

Applications should be emailed to toni@letterkennychamber.com, with the deadline set for Friday 15 January 2027. Martin described the event as “a really marvelous community charity event” and highlighted the significance of the upcoming 30th anniversary.
