No encuentro una traducción adecuada para "prancing" en este contexto. ¿A caso será "saltar de alegría"?

los corredores se exhibirán en las calles / harán gala de su entusiasmo - deportividad...
Sin menoscabo de las buenas opciones aportadas, yo adoptaría una opción algo libre todavía, pero idiomática y simple...
"Prancing", según el Oxford tiene una connotación de "ostentación"
1.1 (of a person) walk or move around with ostentatious, exaggerated movements.
‘she pranced around the lounge impersonating her favourite pop stars’
En el contexto no es realmente "ostentación", pero sí un poco "demostrar con alegría" la energía vital de los corredores...
Saludos cordiales...

tomarán las calles
Buscaría una construcción más idiomática en castellano, aunque el literal vendría a ser algo así como estarán meneándose, brincando, esto no acaba de sonar natural.

competirán alegremente/con entusiasmo // se lanzarán alegremente/con entusiasmo a las calles
La traducción literal de "prancing" (brincar, alardear, pavonearse) no encaja bien en este contexto, pero se puede recoger su sentido de actividad física ejecutada con alegría/entusiasmo. Algunas ideas:
- "... los corredores competirán alegremente/con entusiasmo por las calles de etc."
- "... los corredores se lanzarán alegremente/con entusiasmo a las calles de etc."
- "... los corredores competirán alegremente/con entusiasmo por las calles de etc."
- "... los corredores se lanzarán alegremente/con entusiasmo a las calles de etc."
