Google Maps watermark is visible. Two women in athletic wear are running on a sunny road lined with trees. Both are smiling and waving at the camera. The road is quiet, and the background is filled with greenery and palm trees. Three people stand on a street after a race. Two wear medals and athletic gear, one holding papers, while the third wears a green shirt and cap. Buildings, palm trees, and traffic cones are visible in the background. A boat is docked at a pier during twilight, with a crescent moon and a bright star in the sky. The calm water reflects the colorful sunset, and soft lights illuminate a grassy area and planters in the foreground. Two people wearing medals and race bibs (304 and 306) stand smiling on grass near a waterfront. The adult gives a thumbs-up, and both pose under a sunny blue sky with water and boats in the background. Two smiling boys wearing race bibs stand together outdoors among a group of people preparing for a race. The boys are dressed in athletic gear, and the sun is shining under a partly cloudy sky.
