Monday saw our long-held Canberra Day race arrive once again, this time an hour earlier, starting at 7am. This happily coincided with the Canberra Balloon Spectacular, and the dawn sky was filled with colourful bulbous hot air balloons as the race began. Spectators crowded the lake shore and even the lake itself to get a glimpse of these levitating leviathans. 

In the 4km event, Kim Wilmshurst had the fastest overall time with 16:50.

The fastest male was Adam Duiationkey (18:37), the only entrant in his under 13 boy's category!

Sarah King won the women's 10km race overall in 39:27.

 Daniel Carson in the men's under 50 ran a fast 10km time for this course, in 35:08.

Thanks to all the competitors in the Sri Chinmoy Canberra Day Fun-Runs, and we hope to see you at the first race in our upcoming trail series, the “Cooleman Clip”, on 28 April.
