John McElhill was the fastest athlete home in the Pro-Fitness charity 5k in aid of their ‘Row the Finn’ fundraiser.
Throughout April, members of the Pro-Fitness gym had been clocking up the kilometres on a gruelling 128km indoor rowing challenge in aid of the three North West 10K charities of 2022 (Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Ireland -SBHI Donegal Branch, No Barriers Foundation & Diabetes Ireland).
The challenge was completed on Saturday with the 128km equating to the length of the River Finn and back.
A raffle is also taking place next Sunday with more than 40 prizes donated by local businesses (plus a €1,000 cash prize). Anyone looking to buy a line or two can contact one of the rowers or call into gym.
On Sunday 24th April, the gym set up a 5k race starting at Glenside Business Park with Finn Valley AC man McElhill finishing in 17:03.
Fellow Finn Valley athlete Shane McNulty (17:22) was second and Patrick Trimble (17:35) of Rosses AC finished in third.
