EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of the London Marathon in 1981. The event was proudly sponsored by Gillette, adding an extra touch of excitement to this iconic race that took place on a sunny Sunday morning.

Their determination is palpable as they cross the finish line together, their faces beaming with pride and exhaustion after conquering the grueling marathon course. The image captures not only their physical prowess but also the spirit of camaraderie that defines marathons worldwide. It serves as a testament to human resilience and showcases how sports can bring people together regardless of nationality or background. As we delve into this piece of history from the early 80s, it reminds us of an era when athletics were celebrated for their pure essence rather than commercial gain.
