Its not just warm-up/cool downs and the same old group runs each week. We like to keep it fun and fresh. Last week we played a fun warm up game involving running history - as it pertains to women. Here are some of the questions (and answers) for those who missed it.
Q1. When was the first marathon ever? 490BC
Q2. When was the first modern Olympic marathon? 1896
Q3. When was the first Boston marathon? 1897
Q4. What year did Katherine Switzer run the Boston Marathon? 1967
Q5. What year was there a female marathon category in the Olympics? 1984
That's a long time before women were allowed to compete in marathon. Ladies sure had to fight for the right to represent! Don't let the time pass you by, come and run with the 261 Fearless ladies.
Bonus Q. What was Katherine Switzer's Bib number in her first marathon? 261
We'll have more fun and games tonight with Coach Julie leading this evenings group session. Hope to see you there!
