But a friend of hers stopped him from doing so! Kathrine went on to finish the race and become the first woman to ever complete a marathon! So he ran after her, in the middle of the race, and tried to make her stop running.
The rules stated that women were not allowed to run in the race. In the middle of the Boston Marathon, the race director noticed her and was alarmed. This was before the rules even allowed for women to run in the race! But Kathrine was able to obtain an official entry to the race. In 1967, Kathrine became the first woman ever to compete in the Boston Marathon. So when her college coach told her that a woman could not finish a (26.2 mile) marathon, she set out to prove him wrong!
