Phoenix Manchester Priya's Birthday Biryani Dash

Sun 11th October 2026

A woman in a light gray poncho smiles while standing at a table, as another person in a "Manchester" high-visibility vest writes on a clipboard. Several people are gathered and chatting in the blurred background. A group of runners, each wearing numbered bibs, jogs on a dirt path surrounded by grass and trees on a sunny day. One woman in front leads the group, smiling as she runs. A yellow and gold medal shaped like a stylized phoenix with a yellow ribbon attached, lying on a white surface. Another similar medal is partially visible in the background. A man wearing a beanie and running clothes points and smiles at the camera during an outdoor race, with other runners and trees in the blurred background. A runner with colorful hair and a bright orange long-sleeve shirt raises both hands while smiling, outdoors on a cloudy day. She wears patterned shorts and a race bib numbered 106. Trees and grass are in the background. A group of runners in athletic gear race along a dirt path, with one woman in a blue jacket and headband leading, avoiding a puddle. There is graffiti on a concrete pillar in the background.
