    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.

  • Dugo Se Smatralo Da Trčanje Na Duge Staze Nije Za Žene I Da One Nisu U Stanju Pretrčati Maraton

    Dugo Se Smatralo Da Trčanje Na Duge Staze Nije Za Žene I Da One Nisu U Stanju Pretrčati Maraton

    Dugo se smatralo da trčanje na duge staze nije za žene i da one nisu u stanju pretrčati maraton. Ključni trenutak u povijesti ženskog trčanja desio se na Bostonskom maratonu 1967. godine. Naime, do tada je ženama bio zabranjen nastup, pa se u trku prijavila Kathrine Switzer, ali sa svojim inicijalima K. V. Switzer, te tako dobila startni broj i platila startninu od 3$ (danas bi platila 250$:)). Trku su pratili i novinari u pratećem otvorenom autobusu i jedan je zamijetio neobične „obline“ ispod trenirke K.V. Switzer i glasno viknuo „Hej, ovaj trkač ne izgleda baš kao Karl“. To je čuo i direktor trke Jock Sample, koji je poludio, sišao iz autobusa i pokušao izgurati Kathrine sa staze i skinuti joj startni broj. Međutim, s njom je trčao njezin dečko koji je pak odgurnuo direktora, a sve su to snimili fotografi koji su bili u tom autobusu, od čega je nastao prvorazredni skandal, popraćen dobrom foto-dokumentacijom. Vijest je odmah izašla u New York Timesu i svim ostalim vodećim dnevnim tiskovinama, pa je cijeli slučaj maksimalno dobio na popularnosti, što je samo ubrzalo žensku trkačku revoluciju. Tek kasnije se saznalo da je godinu dana ranije u Bostonu trčala maraton i Roberta Gibb, ali se nije službeno prijavila i trčala je bez startnog broja, pa sve skupa nije dokumentirano. Kathrine Switzer je pak postala heroina ženskog trkačkog pokreta, i kasnije je otrčala 35 maratona (od toga još 7 puta u Bostonu), a jednom je i pobijedila u New Yorku s rezultatom 2:51. Već dvije godine kasnije, u Bostonu su žene službeno mogle trčati maraton (njih četiri), a cijeli slučaj je ubrzao proces uvrštavanja ženskog maratona u olimpijski program (do tada je najduža ženska olimpijska disciplina bila 3000m).
