about

This song conveys the story of Katherine Switzer, the first woman to run a marathon--only at the time, women weren't allowed to participate. She entered anyway, and encountered drama along the way when the race director spotted her and tried to physically force her out of the race. Switzer's companion wrestled him away, and Ms. Switzer went on to finish the race. Although it took 5 additional years to welcome women, Switzer paved the way for women in running, and helped to advance women's rights.
