Pink Walk & Run

To the incredible Hamilton Roadrunners and Kirikiriroa Marathon, Hamilton team who volunteered at this year’s Pink Walk & Run: thank you. Your energy, your smiles, your willingness to lend a hand (and a whole lot of muscle!) helped us create a day full of joy, remembrance, and community spirit.

Whether you were setting up, cheering on walkers, or packing down with purpose - you brought the same heart you bring to every race. We’re so grateful to have you in our corner.

Here’s to running with purpose and walking in solidarity.

A Sweet Shoutout to SoftServe2U

We’re sending a huge thank you to SoftServ2U for their ongoing support of the Pink Walk & Run! Their delicious ice-creams have become a much-loved treat at our event, and they’ll be back this afternoon.

SoftServ2U isn’t just serving up scoops - they’re serving up smiles, joy, and community spirit. Their continued support helps make our event feel festive, fun, and full of heart.

Be sure to stop by their truck this afternoon and grab a cone (or two)! 🍨 Every bite supports a business that supports the cause.

Local firms go pink for a cause.

As part of their combined Get Active for Charity Challenge, DTI Lawyers has teamed up with some amazing local firms including Frank Risk Management, PKF Hamilton, Braun Bond & Lomas, Maisey Harris & Co Hamilton, Foley Douglas, Fraser Valuers, and ’SheasLaw and will be participating in this year's Pink Walk & Run.

The idea behind the challenge is to promote movement and wellbeing amongst their teams, while linking their activity to charitable giving. It's a win for their own health and wellbeing and the charities they've been able to support.

The Breast Cancer Research Trust is one organisation benefitting from this initiative with over 110 people from the wider team participating in this week's Pink Walk & Run.

Everyone participating has been affected by cancer whether directly or indirectly, and the team loves the idea of supporting the vital work of the Breast Cancer Research Trust. They'll be walking (and running!) in solidarity with those affected by breast cancer.

The team has also been very enthusiastic about this year’s event, with some bringing along their families too. Needless to say, there has been lots of talk about planning their pink outfits!

The team is thrilled to be part of a community-wide effort to raise funds and awareness and are looking forward to seeing how far they can go – in steps, in spirit, and in support.
