2022 Bundoran 10 beneficiaries, RNLI and Tir Chonaill AC receive almost €14,000

Bundoran 10 organisers were delighted to present their two community and charity beneficiaries with the proceeds from this year's event, which was held back in March.

Almost €14,000 was raised after the new event which replaced the old Cara run took place to the backdrop of some stunning scenery.

The run/walk takes advantage of the stunning coastal views offered along the southwest Donegal coastline as well as crossing the county boundary into Leitrim for part of the route, finishing via the popular Roguey Walk at Bundoran’s Main Beach.

The Bundoran 10 replaced the popular Cara Bundoran Challenge which had been run in the seaside town for a number of years.

And with the forced cancellations over two years due to the Covid pandemic, there was an extra sense of accomplishment by all participants for 2022.
