The Black and Amber 4 For Aidan Road Race has raised a total of €5,000.
The road race was held in February this year in Letterkenny in memory of local man, Aidan McGlynn.
The proceeds from the event will be shared evenly between St Eunan’s GAA Club’s minor board and Letterkenny Athletic Club’s juvenile section.
