Show Notes

Kathrine Switzer (1947 – ) was a writer, television commentator, and North-American athlete, known for being the first woman to run a marathon (the Boston Marathon) with a start-number. They tried to stop her but she kept on running because she had to show that women could do it. 50 years later, she ran the same marathon again.
