The FHaT Running Club was formed in 2003 with 17 starting members.
The club now has over 90 members from around Launceston that take part in activities such as cycling, running, boxing and even Iron-man events across the country.
The group have joined together to raise much needed funds for the local community, donating $3200 to The Examiner's Empty Stocking Appeal.
Member Andy Stuart said that fundraising was a large focus of the group.

"Throughout the year we run fundraising events," he said.
"We had a walking challenge earlier this year and while we have a good time socialising we also try and give back to local causes.
"There are a lot of issues affecting people in the Launceston area and it's great to help out at this time year when lots of people are doing it tough."
