A sea of colour swept the city and its surrounds as thousands took part in the annual Herald Sun-Transurban Run for the Kids on Sunday.

More than 20,000 participants ran, jogged and walked the circuits to raise more than $1 million for The Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.

People of all ages dressed for the occasion – some decked out as their favourite superheroes, many in colourful tutus and some even in banana suits.

Gail Monument, who walked the short course with family and friends, said the event held a special place in her heart.

“We did it for my beautiful niece’s first born who sadly only lived for three weeks and was in the Royal Children’s Hospital for the entire time,” she said.

“It’s a fantastic cause, we’ve missed it during Covid but it’s something we’ll do as a family and a team together.”

Runners set off under an overcast Melbourne morning sky, making their way across the Bolte Bridge, through the Domain Tunnel and along the Yarra River to cross the finish line in Docklands.
