EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the year 1972, where two remarkable athletes compete in the Fourth International Maxol Marathon held in Manchester. The image showcases Great Britain's very own Ron Hill, donning number 175 on his chest, alongside Spain's Mariano Haro with number 13 proudly displayed. The intensity of the race is palpable as both runners demonstrate their unwavering determination and physical prowess. With sweat glistening on their brows and muscles straining under the immense effort, they push themselves to their limits. As spectators cheer from the sidelines, these extraordinary athletes embody the essence of sportsmanship and resilience. Although ultimately finishing second in this particular marathon, Ron Hill exemplifies true grit and perseverance throughout his journey. His dedication to running would later earn him a well-deserved place among legends of British athletics. This photograph not only freezes a moment in time but also encapsulates an era when marathons were celebrated for their raw athleticism rather than commercial gain. It serves as a powerful reminder of how sport can unite nations through shared passion and admiration for human achievement. Colorsport Images has masterfully preserved this iconic snapshot that continues to inspire generations with its timeless depiction of athletic excellence.
