This year’s field includes reigning USATF marathon national champions Emma Bates and Brogan Austin, and five U.S. women with personal records (PRs) faster than 2:30 (including two of the top 10 fastest women in U.S. history). “This year’s elite field highlights an exciting resurgence we are seeing in American distance running right now,” said Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. “We have a deep pool of American runners who are coming to Chicago to run fast, and we cannot wait to welcome them in the fall. We could see new American records and a lot of personal bests in October.” American women’s field With a PR of 2:20:57, Hasay leads this year’s field as the second-fastest American woman in history and the fastest to ever run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Hasay hopes to put Deena Kastor’s long-standing American record, 2:19:36, in jeopardy. But Hasay’s primary competitor won’t be the clock alone – Amy Cragg, Emma Bates, Stephanie Bruce, Lindsay Flanagan and Taylor Ward represent a strong contingent of U.S.

  • Kathrine Switzer: How One Run Broke the Barrier of Discrimination in Women's Athletics
    1 Kathrine Switzer: How One Run Broke the Barrier of Discrimination in Women’s Athletics Marlena Olson and Sam Newitt Junior Division Group Documentary Process Paper: 499 words 2 Kathrine Switzer challenged societal and legal barriers against women participating in distance running as the first woman to complete the Boston Marathon. Her landmark run increased women’s participation in sports and paved the way for the passage of Title IX. We are interested in running, and after initially researching Bobbi Gibb’s story, we discovered Kathrine Switzer. Switzer’s 1967 Boston Marathon run had a large amount of press coverage, which provided primary sources, and showed the cultural importance of her run. We began our research by reading secondary sources; we determined that a knowledge base was necessary to interpret primary sources. Next, we began locating primary sources, including photographs and newspapers from the 1960s. Additionally, a teacher suggested we interview Dr. Laura Raeder, who has run a marathon in every U.S. state. She provided insight on the integration of women in marathon running. Our school librarian assisted us in locating databases for both primary and secondary sources. We downloaded more than fifty historical newspaper articles from Newspapers.com, and we read Marathon Woman, Switzer’s autobiography. These primary sources helped ​ ​ demonstrate initial reactions from 1967. Although we located an abundance of sources, there was one source we sought but were not able to use: a direct interview with Kathrine Switzer. We emailed Switzer’s media director and requested a Skype interview. Switzer was not able to fulfill our request, however, the director sent us a press folder.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.
