Got my first 5k in the books. Ran the Centennial Airport Runway 5k this past weekend and had a blast.

A photograph capturing a male runner smiling as he jogs across the finish line of the Centennial Airport Runway 5K. He is wearing a white cap, sunglasses, a pink and purple striped soccer jersey with race bib number 656 pinned to it, black shorts, and black running shoes. He is crossing under a large metal finish line truss structure adorned with sponsor banners, including "jetCenters of Colorado." Other runners and airport hangars are visible in the background under a bright blue sky. A watermark in the corner reads "Centennial Airport Runway 5K."

A wide-angle, landscape photograph looking down a vast, expansive asphalt runway at Centennial Airport. Hundreds of participants (runners and walkers) of various ages are moving away from the camera, filling the width of the runway. In the far background, snow-capped mountains are visible under a clear, bright blue sky with scattered white, puffy clouds. Airport buildings are on the horizon. On the left side of the frame, a small, white airplane is captured mid-takeoff on a parallel runway, emphasizing the unique location. The perspective shows the scale of the open airport environment on a sunny day.
