Marc’s Walk has been an annual event for the last four years organised by Willy Nieuwburg, who lost his son Marc in 2006.
This year a total of 248 Islanders took part in the walk, as well as a piglet, Princess Leia, who was wearing a tiny orange hat.
People are encouraged to wear orange to the event to commemorate Marc’s Dutch heritage.
Mr Nieuwburg spray-painted an orange zebra crossing onto the road near Val de la Mare, and his son Ross completed the walk while dressed as a turtle.
There were three routes of varying distances: the longest, 14 miles, beginning at Plémont; a seven-mile route starting at Val de la Mare; and a shorter walk of three miles beginning from St Aubin.
Mr Nieuwburg said: ‘Everyone had a great time.
‘The scenery was spectacular at Plémont and the weather was great.
‘Every year I say I won’t do it again because it is so much work but I know I will do it again next year.’
It is hoped that this year’s event will have raised £10,000 or more, in addition to the £75,000 has raised in previous years.
Next year will mark the tenth anniversary of Marc’s death, and his father would like to reach £100,000.
The proceeds will go towards the Teenage Cancer Trust, as well as CLIC Sargent Jersey.
