A staple on the community calender, the event sees participants walk, ride or run eight kilometres from Jubilee oval to the Lake Wyangan Picnic Area and has raised upwards of $50,000 for the local charity in previous years.

In 2020, the event saw over 1000 individual registrations, a number committee members are keen to see double, especially after the 2021 event had to be cancelled due to ongoing coronavirus concerns.
