Noeleen Scanlan to kick off 2024 North West 10k charity run
Reigning female champion from Letterkenny AC is set to officially launch the annual event on Monday night in the Mount Errigal Hotel
Letterkenny Athletic Club's Noeleen Scanlan is set to inaugurate the commencement of the 2024 North West 10k at the Mount Errigal Hotel on Monday evening.
Scanlan is the reigning female winner having taken the title for the first time last May in Letterkenny.
It was a significant success and came six years after finishing second in Donegal’s biggest charity run.
Her athletic prowess has been evident in her contributions to the successes of Letterkenny Athletic Club's women's events. Scanlan previously clinched the 10km title with a remarkable time of 35.12, surpassing competitors Ciara Toner from the City of Derry Spartans and Helen McCready of Rosses AC.
Neil Martin, Chairperson of the North West 10k, expressed the committee's appreciation for Scanlan's involvement, remarking, "Noeleen is one of the top female athletes in the county and has demonstrated that time and again with Letterkenny AC."
Scanlan, grateful for the invitation to launch the event, expressed her anticipation for the upcoming North West 10k, scheduled for May 6 in Letterkenny.
"I am honoured to have been invited to launch the North West 10k. It’s such a great event that raises so much money for charity every year," she said. She also eagerly awaited the announcement of the selected charities for this year's event.”
