We’ll make it.
And we’ll do it together.
In 1966, the organization of the Boston Marathon denied the race bib number to Roberta Gibb arguing that: “for a woman it is physically impossible to finish a marathon, we do it for your own good”. But Roberta Gibb started running, hiding behind a hood, and managed to finish the race. The following year, Kathrine Switzer managed, after various insults and assaults, to become the first woman to run and finish a marathon with an official number. Today, 45% of participants in the Boston Marathon are women.

TWO DIFFERENT GENERATIONS AND THE SAME GOAL
In 2017, 50 years after Roberta Gibb and Kathrine Switzer managed to change history, we decided that we were going to start running our own marathon. Our race for equality between men and women. The two together. Mother and daughter. Two very different generations and having been educated in very different ways. But above all, sharing the same goal and determination. We know it will not be easy, but we assure you that we will reach our goal. Do you sign up to run with us?
