Kathrine Switzer Headlines Women’s Running Conference
April 17th, 2008 at 13:17Women’s running pioneer, Kathrine Switzer, will be joining an all-star staff for the Women On the Move Conference and Retreat this August 13-15 in Spearfish, South Dakota. The Conference will be held in conjunction with the all-women’s Leading Ladies Marathon and Half-Marathon.
And, I’m very excited to invite you to join me for a LIVE Free Teleseminar with Kathrine on April 29, 2008. You can sign up for the teleseminar by visiting the Women On the Move website.
In 1967, Kathrine was the first woman to officially enter and run the Boston Marathon at time when this race was only open to male runners. Her entry caused such an uproar that a race official tried to physically pull her from the race course. Four decades later, Kathrine is still championing the cause of equal sports status for women.
I actually ran the inaugural Leading Ladies Marathon 3 years ago, and it is a beautiful mostly downhill course. You don’t have to run the race to attend the conference. Nor do you have to plan to attend the conference to be on the live teleseminar with Kathrine.
Be sure to check out the Women On the Move website and sign up for the free teleseminar.
