Rotarians and their families and friends walked a one-mile course around the athletics track at Berry Hill Park, with the finishing lap on the running track itself.
Pat Carlan, Mansfield Harriers chairman, was on hand to supervise walkers and provided refreshments at the finish.
President Karen Johnson thanked those who took part, especially Pat for his support in opening the facilities on a very wet Sunday.
