At the end of the day, the event was able to raise $6048.80 thanks to donations.
Julie Medved, Area Manager at Anytime Fitness Mudgee said she wanted to thank everyone involved.
"Our seven Tutu Tuesday challengers took to the treadmills after Ken Sutcliffe, did a warm up lap in a pink tutu and unicorn mask. Hugh Bateman was there to cheer us on and Gary rocked up in his pinked up car. Joyce, the Queen of Pink Up Mudgee was pretty in pink as was the amazing Anytime Fitness Mudgee team," she said.
Taking part in the challenge were Ethan Hamilton, Kodie Carpenter, Dominique McPherson, Kerry Lincoln, Anita Rusten, Carlie Kaida and Adam Sutherland.
An award for best fundraiser went to Kerry Lincoln who raised $1506 in total and received a pink polo signed by Glenn McGrath.
A mother of one of the challengers, Angie Hamilton sent the gym a note after attending the event.
"Hi team firstly I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful fundraiser today (I'm Ethan's mum) as a two times breast cancer survivor it makes me so emotional to see so many people putting in so much effort to raise funds for this absolutely amazing cause," it read.
"Here at Anytime Fitness Mudgee we support a number of causes from Suicide Prevention Awareness to Can Assist, but we were keen to really be involved in Pink up Mudgee as we have members and friends who have been affected in some way by breast cancer," Julie Medved said.
"We thank our owner Vanessa McDonnell and all the businesses connected to our members who ran on the treadmills. Special thanks for the support of 'Mr Pinkup' Hugh Bateman and our celebrity member Ken Sutcliffe."
