EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating moment at Copthall Stadium in Hendon, Barnet, Greater London. The competitors are lined up, poised and ready to embark on a challenging 10km road race. With chairman Martin Laing firing the starting gun, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation and determination. Taken during a charity event held on July 9th, 1988, this race aimed to raise funds for the Great Ormond Street Hospital Appeal. Participants from various departments across the country joined forces under the banner of Laing spirit to support this noble cause. The image showcases not only the physical prowess of these athletes but also their commitment towards making a positive impact in society. As they set off on their journey through Copthall Stadium's scenic surroundings, one can almost feel their energy and enthusiasm radiating from the photograph. Sport has always been an avenue for individuals to push themselves beyond limits while fostering camaraderie and unity. This snapshot from the 1980s encapsulates that spirit perfectly. It serves as a reminder of how sports events have long served as platforms for both personal achievements and collective efforts towards philanthropy. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this print allows us to relive a momentous occasion where athleticism merged seamlessly with compassion for others' well-being.
