EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant spirit of a 5km fun run at Copthall Stadium in Hendon, Barnet, Greater London. The image showcases two competitors who have donned pink elephant costumes, adding an element of whimsy to the event. The occasion was part of a larger charity event held on July 9th, 1988, with the noble purpose of raising funds for the Great Ormond Street Hospital Appeal. Participants from various departments across the country joined forces under the banner of Laing teams to support this worthy cause. The runners can be seen enthusiastically making their way through the stadium grounds, their determination shining through despite their playful attire. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates both sport and recreation as individuals push themselves physically while also embracing a sense of joy and camaraderie. Set against the backdrop of Copthall Stadium's iconic architecture, this image is not only a testament to human resilience but also serves as a nostalgic reminder of life in the 1980s. It reflects an era when fancy dress events were popular and people embraced opportunities to come together for charitable endeavors. Preserved by A© Historic England Archive, this print beautifully captures a moment frozen in time - one that celebrates both athleticism and community spirit while supporting an important cause.
