BM WOMAN

 

Today the Boston Marathon turns 120. It also marks the 50th anniversary of Bobbi Gibb’s, history making marathon run, as the 1st woman to run the Boston Marathon!

50 years ago conventional wisdom said that if a woman attempted to run the 26.2 mile distance, she would likely DIE.

She sneaked into the race from the sidelines, wore a bathing suit, Bermuda shorts, and boys running shoes.
