50 years ago women were unable to participate in the Boston Marathon as it was for men only. At that time, 20-year-old Kathrine Switzer became the first woman to enter the race. Now, in 2017, Kathrine ran again in the Boston Marathon along with 13,712 other women that participated.
I love that Kathrine changed the norm of the Boston Marathon being for men only and broke down the wall that had been present.
