Kathrine Switzer - Boston Marathon 1967

Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to run the Boston Marathon back in 1967. After realizing that a woman was running, race organiser Jock Semple went after Kathrine shouting, “Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers.” Crazy to think this happened only 45 years ago.
