Kathrine Switzer, Marathon Woman

Kathrine Switzer was attacked by a race official

Annette got the chance to talk to Kathrine Switzer, who has long been one of runnings most iconic figures. Not just for breaking barriers as the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon in 1967, but also for creating positive global social change. Because of her millions of women are now empowered by the simple act of running. Annette interviewed her for Shine TV’s Nzone Tonight programme.
