Drumkeen gym HUP Fitness and DMG Motors took the winning trophy of tonight’s Donegal International Car Push for Relay for Life!
The gruelling 5km race saw eleven gyms and fitness centres from across Donegal push cars through Letterkenny with zero horsepower, only people power.
The event attracted a great crowd to Divers Hyundai on the Canal Road for an evening of friendly competition. DJ Tubbsy and 6-time Donegal International Winner Andrew Nesbitt kept the crowd entertained with plenty of jokes and insights and The Kitchen BBQ kept everyone fuelled up with burgers, kindly sponsored by Trio Foods.
From the ramp of Joe Bonnar road to the punishing rise to the Station Roundabout, the gym teams pushed through the route with sheer grit and strength, resulting in some impressive timings.
