Pink Walk & Run

11/11/2025

Still buzzing from the energy of Pink Walk & Run 2025!

From tutu twirls to heartfelt tributes, you brought the joy, the colour, and the purpose. Whether you walked, ran, cheered, volunteered, sponsored, or simply showed up in pink - YOU made this our biggest, boldest, most beautiful celebration yet.

We invite you to visit our website at www.pinkwalk.co.nz and swipe through the smiles, the sparkle, and the spirit that fuels breast cancer research and community care. Every step was a tribute. Every photo, a memory. Every moment, a reminder of what we can do together.

Huge love to our dream team at Breast Cancer Research Trust for 20 years of walking (and running) with heart.

The Pink Walk and Run is an organised fun sports event that brings together individuals and groups to help raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research.

A special thank you to Hamilton's new Mayor, Tim Macindoe for Mayor of Hamilton, for joining us at the Pink Walk & Run! Your presence meant a great deal to our community, and we’re grateful you took the time to walk alongside us in support of breast cancer research and awareness.

Moments like these remind us that leadership is about showing up (in pink) - with heart, with purpose, and with a commitment to the people you serve. We’re proud to have shared this milestone with you.

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.

The Brand Makers are a team that truly embodies what community spirit looks like. They’ve proudly supported the Pink Walk & Run, helping raise awareness, knowledge, and support for a cause that affects so many Kiwi families.

And for The Brand Makers, it’s just as personal - more than half of their team of 27 have felt the effects of breast cancer, whether through friends, family, or their own experiences.

This year, 10 of their team laced up for the Pink Walk & Run and while they said they “weren't the most competitive group,” they brought plenty of support to the event.

Thank you for your sponsorship and support Brand Makers team!

To everyone who walked, ran, cheered, and volunteered - THANK YOU! The energy, the smiles, the stories… you made the Pink Walk & Run unforgettable.

Because of you, we’ve raised vital funds for breast cancer research and support services. Every step taken, every dollar raised, helps bring hope and healing to those who need it most.

Event photos will be uploaded to our website soon - we’ll post here once they’re live! In the meantime, we’d LOVE to see your moments. Tag us in your pics using so we can celebrate with you!

Let’s keep the momentum going. You didn’t just show up - you made a difference.

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.

Some partnerships go beyond sponsorship - they become part of the heart of the event. The Vege King and Pink Lady have been with us year after year, bringing not just delicious, nourishing treats to the Pink Walk & Run, but also unwavering support for breast cancer research and community care.

Their generosity reminds us that wellness and kindness go hand in hand.

Thank you for walking this journey with us. Your support makes a real difference and we’re so grateful to have you in our corner.
