The fun run to raise money and awareness for breast and ovarian cancer research and treatment was another success, with event organiser Kathy Fuller calling it the biggest year yet.
Ms Fuller estimated 500 people were in attendance.
“Everyone turned up and turned it on,” she said.
“You don't realise how many people are there until they start to pour through that archway, and then it just this continual sea of pink and teal heading off around the lake.
“It's pretty magical.”
Ms Fuller said she hoped people walked away feeling the support of the community.
“This is a beautiful event — this is where the community comes together to support each other,” she said.
“We’re supporting those going through the treatment, those that still live with it each day and those that we've lost.”
After a well-earned break, Ms Fuller said organisers would soon start looking to next year’s event.
“We'll see you back at the lake in 2027,” Ms Fuller said.
