Kathrine Switzer’s Marathon Woman is not really about running: it’s about overcoming the impossible and changing lives.
Kathrine Switzer signed up to run the 1967 Boston Marathon at age 20 using her first and middle initials, back when women still weren’t allowed to participate. She ran with bib No. 261. Two miles into the race an official tried to physically remove her from the course, an infamous moment that was captured on camera.
