EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a remarkable feat of endurance and camaraderie. A team of German amateur runners decided to embark on their town twinning exercise in the most extraordinary way possible - by running the entire distance from Ettlingen to Clevedon. Instead of relying on modern modes of transportation such as planes, boats, or trains, these dedicated athletes chose to put their physical abilities to the test. Jogging in relays, they pushed themselves through countless miles and challenging terrains with unwavering determination. The photograph captures a momentous occasion when the members of Ettlingen Athletic Club finally reached their destination. As they crossed the finish line, exhaustion mingled with triumph on their faces. Their incredible achievement was met with a rousing welcome by Councillor Mrs Hilda Baker, who recognized and celebrated their remarkable accomplishment. This snapshot frozen in time transports us back to October 25th, 1987 - an era defined by its vibrant sporting culture and spirit of adventure. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it is not just about reaching our destination but also about embracing the journey itself. The dedication and perseverance displayed by these runners inspire us all to push beyond our limits and challenge ourselves both physically and mentally. This print encapsulates the essence of athleticism, teamwork, and the indomitable human spirit that knows no bounds.
