An estimated crowd of 12,000 flocked to Baldwin St in Dunedin today for the 2013 Cadbury Jaffa Race.
The first race, at 12.30pm, saw 25,000 orange Jaffas released at the top of the world's steepest street, with the most enthusiastic Jaffa getting home in just under 30 seconds.
Fifteen minutes
later, the second race featured 25,000 lime green Jaffas.
It was a street carnival atmosphere before the event, with stilt-walkers, jugglers and even a life-sized Dalek threading through the crowd.
Small children watched the action from perches on grown-ups' shoulders, while Baldwin St residents had some of the best seats in the house.
