One of Tauranga's biggest annual charity events will blow out 10 candles this year as it hits double digits.
The Pāpāmoa Hills Night Walk will take place on Friday and Saturday nights, raising vital funds for Breast Cancer Support Service Tauranga Trust.
The 5km walk begins at the Poplar Lane's carpark before heading through forest and farmland to the summit of Pāpāmoa Hills Culture and Heritage Park before winding down at the Summerhill Farm.
Breast Cancer Support Service Tauranga Trust service manager Helen Alice said the fundraiser had blossomed from having 35 people at the first event to having more than 500 people during two nights.
In the four years since Alice has been involved, she estimated more than $10,000 had been raised for the cause.
