Trivia: In 1967, Kathrine Switzer became the first woman to run in what race?
Berlin Marathon
Paris Marathon
The Dipsea Race
Boston Marathon
The correct answer is Boston Marathon
So why is this answer correct? : Track athlete Kathrine Switzer wanted to test her mettle in one of the most famous races — the 1967 Boston Marathon. Women were barred from competing in the race, and as it began, one of the coordinators tried to forcibly remove Switzer. She was able to evade him and complete the race, becoming the first woman to do so. Women became officially eligible to run the marathon five years later.
