Atlantic Technological University (ATU) Donegal hosted its tenth annual charity 5k run/walk on the Letterkenny campus last week.

The PGIM sponsored event welcomed a total of 190 participants on the evening and over €2,000 was raised for Donegal Food Response Network, who were the chosen beneficiary.

The network is a collaborative effort involving 21 local community and voluntary organisations across Donegal. It addresses food poverty and food insecurity in the region and assists those in need in a discreet but effective way.

Helen Kennedy, ATU Donegal Sport Centre Manager, extends thanks to all participants, organisers and volunteers who helped make the charity event a positive community occasion and fundraiser.

“We are again delighted for the large turnout for our ever-growing ATU annual 5K,” she said.

“We would like to acknowledge the generosity shown from all participants towards this year’s charity, the Donegal Food Response Network. Finally, a huge thank you to all who helped ensure that the event ran safe and smoothly including staff, An Garda Síochána and the many volunteers.”
