The Darrel Chapman Fun Run has proved to be a roaring success again in 2023.

Sunday morning saw over 700 men, women, children and canines take to the streets and roads of Lismore to raise money for the Our Kids charity.

The competitors and supporters managed to raise over $17,000 for the local charity that raises money to support the Children's Ward at Lismore Base Hospital.

The 725 participants ran, walked and jogged the 4km, 10km and 21km courses, with several outstanding performances.

The 10km event was again won by Tony Johnston in a time of 36mins 53 secs, winning by over a minute and a half from Jaime Cascajares and Dylan Wilson.

Thomas Menger was in fourth place but took out the Male Teen category in a time of 40:13.

Samantha Nicholls won the Open Women's Division in a time of 43:39 in a close finish from Sharee Webber, just 5 seconds behind.

Steve Shaw took out the Male Masters category in a slick 42:44.
