A group of runners participating in a race begin their run under a blue "Second Wind Race Timing" inflatable arch. The event is set outdoors on a sunny day, with trees in the background and spectators on the sidelines. A group of swimmers wearing green caps are racing in a lake. The water splashes around them as they swim towards brightly colored buoys on a sunny day. Lush trees line the background under a clear blue sky.
