The Kettering Christmas 10k & 5k

Sun 15th December 2024

Four athletes stand on a track, arms around each other and smiling, each wearing a medal. The sun shines brightly in the background, highlighting their joyous expressions and athletic attire. Four people are running on a paved surface, wearing athletic gear and race numbers. The sun casts long shadows as they move in unison, with two onlookers visible in the frame's background. A woman in athletic wear stretches her leg, holding her foot. The image has a stylized red, white, and blue background with a geometric pattern.
