Two people are posing for a photo at a Halloween-themed running event. The person on the left is dressed as a witch with green face paint and a pointed hat, while the person on the right is in athletic wear. Both are holding what appear to be water bottles. They have race bibs pinned to their chests. Two men smiling outdoors. The man on the left wears a green tank top, blue hydration pack, race number 582, and a medal. The man on the right wears a blue hoodie with "Henry" written on it. They stand on a path with a metal railing and clear sky. Two women wearing athletic gear and numbered race bibs stand outdoors, smiling and looking at a phone. One wears a blue jacket and the other a navy one. There's a hint of snow on the ground. They both have hydration vests on.
