The largest group was in the 5km, with 322 runners, but the half marathon (264) and 10km (255) were also well-supported, both selling out in the final few weeks.
Community Living and Respite Services’ marquee community event smashed the previous record of 800, raising funds for the organisation’s Opening Doors Project.
The project builds accessible homes for locals living with disability and has so far delivered three homes and 12 units, housing 22 individuals.
The CLRS team and 51 volunteers helped the day run smoothly.
“We have been absolutely blown away by the response and support we received for Run Echuca Moama this year,” CLRS acting chief executive Lauren Davy said.
“The enthusiasm from participants, volunteers, sponsors and the broader community has been incredible.
“While we're still finalising the total amount raised, we're excited to confirm that we've already surpassed last year's remarkable total of $55,000.
“All funds raised will support our Opening Doors project, bringing us closer to delivering more accessible homes for people with disability in our community.”
