A group of runners participating in a road race, wearing numbered bibs and athletic attire. They're running along a street lined with spectators and buildings. Some runners appear focused, while others glance around. The atmosphere is lively and competitive. Two women wearing running gear jog on a seaside pathway. One wears a pink tank top and the other a yellow one with a race bib number 129. Both are smiling and appear to be enjoying the run. The sky is clear and blue. Three women wearing matching pink shirts, each with a race number, pose with medals around their necks and drinks in hand. They stand on a seaside promenade with the ocean and cloudy sky in the background.
