Kathrine Switzer has always loved a challenge. In 1967, she decided to run the Boston Marathon, which was all men at the time. Though the race manager tried to pull her off the course, Kathrine pushed on and finished the race. Her accomplishment challenged the world's view of female athletes. Today, she's a marathon runner and women's sports advocate. [This episode originally aired December 2021.]
