Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to officially register for and run the Boston Marathon. She became a world-class runner and won the New York City Marathon in 1974. She has organized 400 women’s races in 27 countries and led the drive to get the women’s marathon into the Olympic games. She is an Emmy Award-winning TV commentator, founder of the Avon Running Global Women’s Circuit, and was part of the first class of inductees into the National Distance Running Hall of Fame.
