Arbroath’s Relay for Life boosted Cancer Research UK’s coffers by £87,119.
Weary walkers celebrated after the total was revealed but the amount could be even higher with more money still to come in.
That means the Arbroath event has raised over £220,000 in the past two years.
The event took place over 24 hours from 11am on Saturday until Sunday at Arbroath Cricket Club for Cancer Research UK.
Many of the 370 registered competitors opted to wear fancy dress at the event which had a television programme theme.
Relay chairman Ian Angus said: “Arbroath does go the extra mile for Relay.
“I feel that there are a number of reasons for that not least the devastating impact that cancer has had on many local families and our community as a whole.
“Relay is a chance to fight back by raising funds for vital cancer research.
“Arbroath people are extraordinarily generous when it comes to charitable giving.
“They are also up for a challenge and there are few greater than the quest to beat cancer sooner.
“I also believe that the magic of Relay has a lot to do with it.
“Relay for Life is like nothing else.
“It is without doubt the most rewarding thing I have ever done and I am certain our relayers would agree.
“Relay for Life is a great local event and at the same time we are part of a national and international family of fundraisers all working for a common cause.”
Mr Angus said they were extremely grateful to the many local businesses, organisations and individuals who sponsored, gave up their time, loaned resources, donated money and helped in so many ways.
He said they were particularly pleased to have welcomed a host of local talent to entertain during the Relay including Arbroath Musical Society, Dance Mania and Stagecraft School of Dance.
Mr Angus also hailed the hard work and dedication of the 24 teams and said it was an honour to volunteer alongside “such wonderful people”.
He said: “The committee has been working hard as well, to ensure that the Relay weekend is extra special and a bit different again this year.
“As always our teams have put in an amazing amount of energy, commitment and innovation to put on a whole series of great events throughout the past year.”
He said it was a huge compliment to the success of Arbroath Relay that again they were entertaining guests from other Relays across the UK who turned up to see how they do things.
As always, one of the main highlights was the Candle of Hope ceremony held on Saturday evening when competitors lit a candle in memory or support of someone who has been afflicted by cancer.
As walkers entered the home straight on Sunday morning, the team challenges continued before a conga lap was followed by everyone linking together for the finale to the strains of Runrig’s Loch Lomond.
Mr Angus said attention now turns to next year’s Relay for Life.
“Cancer doesn’t take a break so neither will we,” he pledged.
