Almost 6000 Canberrans enjoyed the warm spring weather and raised more than $77,000 for the National Heart Foundation at the 34th Canberra Times Family Fun Run and Walk yesterday.
More than 3500 runners filled Yamba Drive from about 9am to stretch and find a good spot at the front of the race pack.
The crowd cheered when The Canberra Times editor Rod Quinn pulled the trigger on the starting gun, breaking a three-year misfire jinx.
About 2200 people walked around Lake Burley Griffin from a new starting point at Dairy Road in Fyshwick. A ''Baywatch babe'' in a red bikini, a pair of Supermen, three bunny fairies and four construction workers in hardhats added a colourful element to the race.

Full results in a lift-out this Thursday.
