A scenic view of a lush green and brown landscape with a winding path on a hill. People are walking along the path, surrounded by trees and open land. The sky is partly cloudy, and the distant horizon meets the sea. Three people stand smiling on a forest trail. Two wear running gear and one wears a bright orange safety vest. Sunlight filters through the trees and leaves cover the ground. A woman wearing a blue outfit and running gear jogs on a narrow, leaf-covered forest trail. She is smiling, and her race bib number 258 is visible. Trees and greenery surround the path. A large group of runners wearing race bibs start a race outdoors, running on a gravel path with trees and a building in the background. Some runners wear hats and sunglasses, and a "Welcome" sign is visible on the right. A man wearing a race bib and athletic gear is running on a forest trail, smiling, sticking out his tongue, and making a hand gesture. The background is filled with trees and foliage, suggesting an autumn setting. A runner wearing sunglasses, a patterned shirt, and a race bib splashes through a shallow stream on a forest trail, with trees and foliage in the background. A woman in a pink shirt and black shorts runs on a muddy forest trail, wearing a blue race bib and a vest, with trees and fallen leaves in the background. A smiling woman in athletic gear and a race bib runs on a forest trail, holding trekking poles and giving a thumbs up. The ground is covered with leaves and the background is filled with trees. A woman in sportswear, wearing glasses and a race bib, runs energetically on a muddy forest trail, smiling and giving a thumbs-up. The background is filled with trees and foliage. A man in a blue shirt and maroon shorts runs on a muddy forest trail, splashing through a puddle, while another runner follows in the background. A smiling runner in a white cap and a light shirt makes peace signs with both hands while wearing a race bib and black running vest, outdoors with a blurred, natural background.
