The effort had been hosted by media personality Stephen Clements in recent years. A special trophy was presented at last year’s event in the east Antrim man’s memory.

Last year, the kindhearted resident decided to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support with £2,325 being donated to the worthy cause.

This year, proceeds will support the work of the Northern Ireland Hospice.

The event is sponsored by Breedon and there will be music from Harv and Willie McKee with special guests.
