EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the spirit of endurance and triumph, this vintage print showcases the winners of the second Cornish Marathon held in Lostwithiel, Cornwall in September 1985. The determined faces of these remarkable athletes reflect their incredible achievement after completing the grueling course from Saltash to Lostwithiel. At the center stands Richard Kohler from Germany, who emerged as the fastest man with an impressive time of 2 hours, 40 minutes, and 14 seconds. Mark Reid from Plymouth secured second place while Kenneth Payne from Exeter claimed third. Notably, Maria Smart from Plymouth dominated as the fastest woman with a commendable time of 3 hours and 22 minutes. This image captures their well-deserved victory alongside their gleaming trophies at Lostwithiel Community Centre. Beyond personal glory, this event also served a noble cause by raising sponsorship money for two vital organizations - St John Ambulance and RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution). Their dedication to saving lives on land and sea was supported through this marathon's generous contributions. Preserved by photographer Jonathan Barker, this historic snapshot encapsulates both physical prowess and community support that made the Cornish Marathon an unforgettable event in Cornwall's sporting history.
