The 2.6-mile superhero-themed challenge was organised by CancerCare North Lancashire & South Cumbria and Unique Kidz & Co and took place on Sunday.
Participants gathered at The Battery in Morecambe before walking, running, scooting or wheeling along Morecambe Promenade.
Many participants embraced the superhero fancy dress theme, with costumes and themed props adding colour to the event.
The event was sponsored by TP Financial Solutions, an independent financial advisory firm based in Morecambe and Heysham. FGH Security provided first aid cover, Whitewells Catering Supplies supplied water for runners, and Lancaster Ghostbusters provided entertainment.
CancerCare is a local independent charity supporting children and adults affected by cancer, life-shortening illness and bereavement.
Unique Kidz & Co supports children and young people with disabilities and additional needs across north Lancashire.
CancerCare community fundraiser Hayley Pritchard said: “What an amazing day we had at the Superhero Mini Marathon, and we are so grateful to everyone who came along and supported the event. Thank you to those local businesses – FGH Security, Whitewells and Lancaster Ghostbusters – for generously supporting, too.
“The funds raised will be split between CancerCare and Unique Kidz & Co, two local charities doing fantastic work for local people. We also hope the event helped raise awareness of important causes.”
Chris Pilkington, head of fundraising at Unique Kidz & Co, added: “Seeing so many people of all ages come together to walk, run, scoot and wheel their way along Morecambe Prom was incredibly special. The atmosphere was full of fun, colour and community spirit, and the superhero costumes made it even more memorable.
“Inclusive events like this are so important to us as a charity and show what can happen when local people come together to support one another. We’re so grateful to everyone who took part, volunteered or cheered people on and our sponsors TP Financial Solutions. Every step taken will help support local families through the work of Unique Kidz & Co and CancerCare.”
