A runner competes in a mountain race, wearing a blue jacket, black shorts, and a headband. Rugged terrain with rocks and shrubs surrounds him. In the background, there's a scenic view of a lake, hills, and a cloudy sky. Another racer is seen further behind. A runner wearing a red shirt, dark pants, and a race bib numbered 10052 treks up a rugged trail with a mountainous backdrop. Another runner is visible in the distance. The scene is set in a mountainous area with sparse vegetation and a lake in the background. A person wearing a red jacket and dark pants is hiking on a rocky mountain trail on a foggy day. The hiker is captured mid-step, with a slight leap, and appears to be navigating through jagged rocks. The sky is overcast, and the terrain is rugged. Two runners are climbing a grassy, rocky hill with a serene lake and towering mountains in the background. The sky is overcast with clouds partially obscuring the peaks. One runner is wearing a red jacket and black shorts, and the other has a blue shirt and black shorts.
