Blast Running February 5km and 10km

Sun 26th February 2023

A woman is running along a waterfront with "blast running 5k & 10k Sunday 12th November" and "Enter on the day - come along by 9.30am" text overlay. Details at the bottom read "10am start Gypsy Brae Rec Ground." The background features water and distant hills. Three people jog along a waterfront road on a cloudy day. The road is lined with trees, including a uniquely bent tree in the foreground. The water and overcast sky create a serene backdrop. Runners participate in a race on a paved road surrounded by spectators. Two blue tents and various people sitting and standing are seen in the background. A man on a bike and an ATV are also present on the side of the road. Trees and grass complete the scene. Three runners participate in a race on a paved path surrounded by greenery. One runner on the left raises both arms in celebration, while the middle runner jogs calmly, and the runner on the right smiles and waves. Spectators sit and stand nearby, watching the race.
