Episode Synopsis

Episode Synopsis: In 1967, Kathrine was the first woman to run the Boston Marathon as an officially registered female. A mile and a half into the race, the race manager assaulted her to get her out of the race. He failed. Kathrine finished the race and went to become a visionary and pioneer for women’s long-distance running. Her relentless passion to grow women’s marathons all of the world, along with her tireless passion to get the women’s marathon into the Olympics changed women’s sports forever. In this episode, I talk with Kathrine about how she stayed focused, kept going, and her non-profit 261 Fearless. Kathrine’s courage and dedication to women’s sports cleared the way and will continue to clear the way for generations of women.
