The path is lined with trees and runs parallel to a wide river with a cityscape visible in the distance. The scene is vibrant with green areas and blue water, and the participants are dressed in various colorful attire.

Running in Kabul was exhilarating! The atmosphere was electric, and the organization was top-notch. Loved it!
