Please join us for the inaugural K.V. Switzer Awards Brunch!

In 1967, Kathrine Switzer broke barriers when she became the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon, challenging the belief that women weren’t strong enough for long-distance running. Her courage on that historic day ignited a global movement for women in sport and beyond.

The K.V. Switzer Awards carry that legacy forward and celebrate three extraordinary individuals who are transforming lives by empowering women through running. More than an honor, these awards are a beacon of courage and possibility – recognizing fearless leadership while inspiring continued progress toward a more equal, inclusive world. This event benefits 261 Fearless and their mission to inspire, motivate and educate women to step up and become leaders to support women of all backgrounds to run and lead healthy, fearless, and empowered lives.

*K.V. Switzer Pioneer Award presented by Team Milk's Every Woman's Marathon
