The event was officially started by former Leeds United and England footballer Alan Peacock, who is living with dementia.
Hundreds of fundraisers donned their walking boots at an overcast Temple Newsam Estate alongside friends, family and colleagues to support the estimated 76,130 living with dementia across Yorkshire and Humberside.
Here are some of the photographs we took as walkers began the 6km route.
