A silver medal with a red ribbon that reads "Running Events Devon." The medal features a runner, a bridge, hills, and the event name with a cross-shaped map of Devon in green. A round medal with a red ribbon features two runners, hills, and an arched stone bridge. The text "Running Events Devon" appears in the bottom left corner against a backdrop of green and blue fields. 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.
