EP-139 Kathrine Switzer

from Lauri's Lemonade Stand · host Lauri Mackey

One Marathon in 1967 set Kathrine Switzer on the path that would direct the rest of her life.  The first woman to enter and compete in the Boston Marathon was quite literally attacked by a race official who tried to pull off her bib number while she was running and who later had her disqualified.  She then became an advocate for all women athletes when in 1972 women were allowed into the Boston Marathon and later the marathon for women was added to the Olympic Event Calendar in 1984.  Come on in and listen to this short interview with Kathrine Switzer (She is a busy lady and we are so honored to have her here!) and learn how you too can be FEARLESS!   Rate & Review This Podcast
