Three runners participate in a night race, identifiable by their illuminated gloves and ware joggers attire. The background features a dark, nighttime sky. The runners seem energetic, and one of them flashes a cheerful smile at the camera. A woman running along a beachfront path wearing a blue tank top, black leggings, and red shoes. She has a race bib with the number 1090. The beach and ocean are in the background, with other people walking in the distance on a sunny day. A group of children wearing colorful athletic gear are enthusiastically running at the start of a race. They are on a coastal pathway lined with spectators who are cheering them on. Various flags and race markers are visible in the background. A large group of runners participate in a marathon along a paved seaside promenade, with the beach and ocean to their left. The sky is partly cloudy, and there are buildings and a pier visible in the distance. Green shrubbery borders the path to the right. Participants run along a pier towards the ocean, taking part in a race event. The pier stretches out into calm water, and a large building is visible at the end. The sky is overcast, and some spectators are standing along the sides, watching the runners.

Amazing race with a beautiful (mainly flat) route which gives amazing views of the seafront. Staff were all friendly and supportive. Only issue or thing to look out for in future would be the time it takes to get to the start line. We queued for the bus at 08:30 but didnt get to the start line until 09:55. Best to leave for the start as early as possible
