Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to officially enter and run the Boston Marathon

Kathrine Switzer kicked off our Buffalo-Niagara International Marathon this Morning! What an awesome experience.

To think that it was in early 1970's that the "Boston Incident" occurred, where she registered in the No WOMEN ALLOWED event under the name of K. Switzer.

Men tried to "yank" her off the course at that time. WOW! we have changed. Today 60% of the entrants in the Marathon were women!
