Similar events were held throughout New Zealand and it was a time to celebrate, remember and "fight back" by raising funds for the society, event manager Janie Peck said.
Money raised would be spent on support services, health promotion services and resources to benefit North Otago, and to fund cancer research.
Matt Haywood is team captain co-ordinator and event administrator.
The organising committee will be chaired by Eric Spittal.
Registrations will open at the launch of the event, in Oamaru on September 22 and Kurow on September 23.
