Christmas Plym Challenge Day 1

Fri 1st December 2023 - Sat 2nd December 2023

A shaded, tree-lined path leads to a dark tunnel entrance surrounded by dense foliage. The path is slightly curved and bordered by verdant greenery on both sides under a partially clouded sky. A refreshment table under a red tent with a banner reading "Running Events Devon, Run for Fun" in the background. The table has various snacks, drinks, and supplements laid out, including bottles, plastic containers, and jugs. The scene is set outdoors with foliage nearby. A metallic dragonfly sculpture is attached to a moss-covered rock face. It has intricately detailed wings and a body resembling mechanical parts, blending nature and industrial art. Greenery surrounds the sculpture, enhancing its integration into the natural environment. A narrow, paved path leads through a dense, green forest with sunlight filtering through the tree canopy. The ground is covered in foliage and the path is bordered by lush, vibrant vegetation. The scene is serene and tranquil.
