A silver medal with a red ribbon features a landscape, a viaduct, and a red runner, with "Running Events Devon" written on it. The ribbon says, "Run for fun or for your challenge!" in bold black text. A round medal with a red ribbon features two runners, colorful hills, and an arched bridge. The text “RUNNING EVENTS DEVON” appears at the bottom left in red and green. A group of people, wearing athletic clothing, running along a paved trail bordered by grass and leafless shrubs on a cloudy day. Some runners are in brightly colored outfits and appear to be participating in a group event, heading away from the camera. A red tent with a "Running Events Devon" banner is set up beside a green field. The foreground displays a table cluttered with various snacks, drinks, and running supplies. Mixed beverages and food items are arranged in plastic containers.
