EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the thrilling Great North Run on 18th June 1989. The atmosphere is electric as athletes push their limits in a fierce battle of endurance and determination. At the forefront of this momentous event stands Mike McLeod, a renowned British long-distance runner. However, fate had other plans for McLeod on that fateful day. As he races towards the finish line with unwavering focus etched upon his face, he finds himself forced to settle for second place. Moroccan El Mostafa Nechchadi emerges victorious, leaving McLeod with mixed emotions - pride in his remarkable performance yet tinged with disappointment at narrowly missing out on the top spot. This image captures an era when athletics was at its peak during the vibrant 1980s. It symbolizes not only the spirit of competition but also showcases the indomitable human spirit that drives individuals like McLeod to strive for greatness. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost feel our hearts pounding alongside these extraordinary athletes who have dedicated countless hours to perfecting their craft. It serves as a reminder that victory may sometimes elude us despite our best efforts; however, it is through such moments that true character is revealed and resilience is forged. NCJ's exceptional talent behind the lens has immortalized this significant sporting event forever. This print invites us to reflect upon both triumphs and setbacks while celebrating those who give their all in pursuit of excellence within
