This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 11 March 1958, page 6: "The United Kingdom High Commissioner in New Zealand (Sir George Mallaby) about to fire the shot that sent the first runner away in the 26-mile marathon early last evening. Here W. Kendall, who withdrew from the race at the 15-mile mark, is awaiting the starter's signal."
