The 3.1 mile course began at 8 a.m. in downtown Zachary at the start of the open-air community market, despite cold and cloudy weather.
The 5K included about 60 registered runners from Zachary, Baton Rouge and surrounding communities, as well as from Sunset, La., and as far away as Texas.
Men, women, children and couples participated in the event, and door prizes were given out by area businesses to runners whose names were entered into the prize drawings.
"All About the Heart" t-shirts were also sold at the event, and the February community market, held in conjunction with the Zachary Farmer's Market was a huge success.
