The Wango Tangos team was made up of a small number of family and friends who joined together to raise money for The Cancer Council.
It was the first year of taking part for Jeremy Smith, who said each member walked for around six hours.
"We are all really tired now after walking all night, we are a small team so it was a great team effort to have someone on the track at all times,"he said.
Fellow team member Casey Belbin said the most challenging part was walking in the early hours of the morning.
"I started doing Relay for Life down the North-West with my school and I did that for as few years," she said.
"We've moved up here so thought we would participate in the Launceston event. It brings the community together for a great cause and it's a great way to help make a difference."
With the final result still being tallied, the event goal was to raise $160,000.
