In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a pivotal moment as runners embark on their grueling journey through the city streets. Determination etched on their faces, these athletes push themselves to their limits, fueled by dreams of victory and national pride. As they exit the stadium gates onto Westgate Street, a wave of applause and encouragement follows them like a tailwind. Spectators line both sides of the road, eagerly cheering for their favorite competitors. Their enthusiasm is palpable; you can almost hear their shouts echoing through time.
