  • 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.

  • Overcoming the Femininity Hurdle: Is Sport the Answer?
    Overcoming the Femininity Hurdle: Is Sport The Answer? For the MPhil in Philosophy March 2020 By Olivia R. Howe ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Firstly I would like to thank Dr Mary Edwards for her guidance and inspiration throughout this dissertation and Professor Jon Webber for his extremely valuable insights. I would also like to thank my parents for their continuous support and my immense gratitude to all my friends at 20 Daniel Street and 36a Wellfield Road who have rooted for me throughout. *** ‘And in sports, the goal is not to succeed independently of physical aptitudes: it is the accomplishment of perfection proper to each organism; the lightweight champion is as worthy as the heavyweight; a female ski champion is no less a champion than the male who is more rapid than she: they belong to two different categories.’ – Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex i SYNOPSIS In the vast majority of sports in the West, women are marginalized and disadvantaged in their plight to have their achievements recognised as equally valuable. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate not only why women and men are considered unequal as athletes but also to illuminate sport’s potential as a less explored terrain upon which to tackle sexism. It examines the reasons for the continued under-representation of women in sports and the trivialization of women's sports. It will first explore age-old myths about women which continue to inform our ideas about them today as well as our conception of them as lesser athletes than men. Overthrowing extremely durable ideas of what women are and should be has proven difficult, hence feminist scholars are still striving to debunk the numerous alienating and oppressive myths surrounding ‘feminine nature.’ In recognition of this, the dissertation then goes on to explore the constructed juxtaposition of ‘femininity’ and ‘athleticism’.

    THE ART OF SPORT When Kathrine Switzer registered for the 1967 Boston Marathon under her initials, her THE ART OF story had just begun. After fending off a race official who tried to force her off the course a few miles into the race, Switzer made history, becoming the first female to finish the all-male race as an official entrant.

  • In Pursuit of Ghosts and Unicorns April Doesn’T Mean Just Spring
    In Pursuit of Ghosts and Unicorns April doesn’t mean just spring. It also means it’s time to marathon. BY RON MCCRACKEN “It may be springtime in the Rockies, but it’s Marathon time out here…” —from a poem by Bertha Kelley, mother of Johnny “The Elder” Kelley h, yes, marathon Monday in Massachusetts, according to the governor’s proclamation, approaches once again. Time to chase ghosts and unicorns, Aurges the whimsical mind of many marathoners. “Bricklayer” Bill Kennedy, who won the 1917 edition of the B.A.A. Boston Marathon and ran it a few dozen more times, accurately captured the thoughts of his fellow runners obsessed with the annual trek from Hopkinton to Boston. In a 1932 letter to John Halloran of the Boston Globe, he philosophized, “The lure of the Boston race, Johnnie, is far greater than any in the country and, to me, the world. I can only speak of my own thoughts; but I have been close enough to run- ners for 30 years that I also know their thoughts, hopes and chances—to win the Boston Marathon, that is the dream of every runner. Sometimes I hardly believe I realized that hope 15 years ago; I am still dreaming, still building castles, and actually believe I am going to win again. “All marathon runners are dreamers; we are not practical. The hours we spend every day, every year! The strength we expend over long lonesome roads and the pot of gold we aspire to receive for it all! The end of the rainbow, Johnnie, is a survivor’s medal.” My pursuit of my ninth “survivor’s medal” this year begins, as always, when I arrive at my room at the old brownstone at 463 Beacon Street.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact Info Chris Grack 261 Fearless, Inc. VP of Community Outreach [email protected] Kathrine Switzer will run the 121st Boston Marathon® in Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of her Historic Run Port Washington, NY (September 8, 2016)-- Kathrine Switzer, the woman who made history by pinning on an official race bib and running in the 1967 Boston Marathon®, at a time when the marathon was a male -only event, is making history again. As a 50th Anniversary celebration and to pay tribute to the streets of Boston for birthing the women’s distance running movement, Kathrine will lace up her shoes once again, pin on a “legitimate” bib and run the 121st Boston Marathon®. This time, she will be running with a team of women representing her new global non-profit, 261® Fearless, Inc. “It is an honor and joy to participate in the 121st Boston Marathon,” said Kathrine Switzer. “What was a dramatic incident 50 years ago when angry race co-director Jock Semple tried to throw me off the course for being a girl, became instead a defining moment for me and women runners throughout the world. The result is nothing less than a social revolution; there are now more women runners in the United States than men.” Despite this inauspicious beginning, the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) early on realized the seriousness of women’s desire to participate and the potential of their endurance. In 1972, five years after the ‘Switzer Incident’, the BAA welcomed women as official competitors. Switzer was 3rd in that race, ran Boston eight times, and posted her personal best of 2:51:37 in the 1975 edition.
