Race director Irfan Chaudhry said the post-race barbecue was a huge hit as was the live auction, which was led by auctioneer and Delta South MLA Ian Paton.
Delta North MLA Ravi Khalon led the race warm-up and was also a participant, while Delta MP Carla Qualtrough helped hand out the post-race medals.
Representatives from the City of Delta, Delta Police and Delta Fire were also on hand to support the event.
