You’‘ll never be Katherine Switzer running the Boston Marathon before women were allowed to cool
It’s easy to forget that until relatively recently — 1972 — women weren’t even allowed to officially run the Boston Marathon race, but... In 1967, a runner named Kathrine Switzer entered the all-male Boston Marathon under the name "K.V. Switzer," making her the first registered woman to run the race. Switzer was attacked during the race, despite the harassment, Switzer finished the race, and five years later women were finally allowed to run the Boston Marathon.
