A smiling woman in red sportswear stands under a “Runaway Racing” arch, holding a medal and giving a thumbs up after finishing a race on a sunny day. A smiling man with a race medal and red hydration pack poses under a "Runaway Racing" arch, holding up a peace sign at a race finish line. His race bib number is 115. It is a sunny day with greenery in the background. A man gives a thumbs up and smiles while hugging a woman outdoors in a park or garden. Both wear athletic gear, and autumn trees are visible in the background. A woman wearing a black outfit and race bib runs past "Runaway Racing" banners on a sunlit outdoor trail, smiling as she nears the finish line. A man wearing a red shirt and black shorts runs downhill on a grassy trail surrounded by trees, with a race bib numbered 153 pinned to his shorts. A man in athletic gear runs along a grassy field with rolling hills and sparse trees in the background on a cloudy day. A man in a red shirt and black shorts is running on a grassy path next to a wire fence, surrounded by trees and bushes. He appears focused and is wearing a running vest.

A great location for this run and so very well organised, well signed posted etc and the people at the checkpoints were amazing. Shout out to those at the 3rd checkpoint, they were so sweet and helpful and just knew at 38km that we needed a smile and help! Only down side for me, was I didn’t get any pizza as it was quite a wait so decided to shoot off 😎
