More than 250 people walked from Corbiere to St Aubin's Parish Hall at dawn on Sunday.
The Sanctuary Trust's 'Walk Into Light' raises awareness of homelessness in Jersey, and money to provide accommodation for men in a crisis.
Last year's inaugural event raised more than £6,000.

Trust Chairman, Frank Walker, really enjoyed taking part:
"It's just a great relaxing event. Fair enough it starts at a very unsociable hour of 4.30am, but as soon as the sun starts coming up you soon forget that. You hear the birds singing and see the wildlife in the trees. It is just a great event to be part of."
The walk concluded at around 6am with a hot drink and bacon roll at the finish line.
