EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and energy of the start of a fun run in the picturesque town of Penzance, Cornwall, during the 1970s. The image features a large crowd of eager runners and supportive spectators gathered at the rugby ground, ready to embark on a marathon event. Among the runners is none other than David Moorcroft (b.1953), a renowned British middle-distance and long-distance runner, who adds a touch of professionalism to the fun and community-spirited event. The sunny Sunday morning scene is filled with a sense of anticipation as the runners, dressed in their racing attire and numbered bibs, prepare to take on the challenge. The atmosphere is infectious, with children and adults alike cheering and waving banners, adding to the festive and inclusive spirit of the day. The start line, marked by a simple banner, serves as a symbol of determination and camaraderie, as each runner sets off on their personal journey of endurance and achievement. The beautiful backdrop of Penzance and the rolling hills of Cornwall adds to the allure of this unique and memorable event, which continues to draw participants and spectators from far and wide to this day.
