🏃‍♀️ Run for your life
Runners pass by a small green building with a large red circular sign that reads "Jo's" at the top. The building has a red stripe along the roofline and is located at the corner of South Congress Avenue. A small crowd of people stands on the sidewalk, watching and cheering the runners as they go by. In the background, there are trees with bare branches and a street sign indicating Congress Avenue.

A group of runners jogs down a sunlit street. Most of the runners are wearing athletic gear such as tank tops, shorts, and running shoes. Some hold water bottles, and a few are smiling as they run. In the background, there is a white building with a sign that reads "Better Half Coffee Bar & Café" partially visible behind the trees and other runners.
