Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Off and running: More than 2;000 entrants took off down University Ave. just after the start of the 1982 Labatt's Toronto Marathon. Reader argues that road running is a sport with more active participants in North America than hockey; football and baseball combined; and deserves more newspaper coverage than it has been getting.
