MM#15 Run Like Hell

She just wanted to run. That's all.

 

Twenty years old, bib number 261, tucked into the middle of the pack on a cold, rainy morning in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. She had trained over a thousand miles for this. She was ready.

 

The men in charge had other ideas. She finished anyway.

 

In this episode, we lace up and follow Kathrine Switzer through the 1967 Boston Marathon that changed women's sports forever—the attack that tried to stop her, the men who failed her, and the twenty-four miles she ran alone after the world told her to quit.

 

Because sometimes the most radical thing a woman can do is simply refuse to stop.
