My Name'5 Doddie Foundation 5K, 10K and kids 1K

Sun 7th June 2026

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. White and yellow text on a blue background reads, "Fundraising in support of MY NAME’S DODDIE FOUNDATION." The letters M, N, and D are highlighted in yellow. Six men stand together smiling after a race, wearing medals and race bibs, with other runners and trees in the background. The display shows "10.02 km," the date "Jun 8, 2025," and branding for COROS. A row of round medals with blue and yellow tartan patterns, labeled "My Name'5 Doddie Foundation 5K, 10K & Kids Fun Run," attached to blue and yellow ribbons, displayed on a brown surface.
