I want to thank Bobbi, if it wasn't for her I would not have been able to run in high school and win marathons myself in the 80s. Being of the next generation, it never occurred to me that women were not allowed to run, so I want to say thank you Bobbi for paving the way for me and other women.
Such a great story. I just read about this on Facebook and came here and just said ‘1966 Boston marathon’ to see what popped up, this is the first thing. Awesome!
A woman of rare determination. We have also tried to tell her story in a slightly 'different' key in order to reach and capture the attention of as many people as possible who may not be looking for her because of other interests or who knows? But our intention was to bring your story to the surface because it is a great example and inspiration to so many. Happy to have shared this common desire with you. I hope I have given you a smile. And maybe a surprise for Bobby.

I love that she not only ran it for herself but for every female past, present and future. Respect and gratitude to that gutsy human.

What an incredible person.
That is female empowerment!! What an inspiration.
Women have come a long way since then, and we have fought every step of the way.

Power of giving.
Read something about this on a Facebook post and it almost sounded like a fantasy story I had to fact check, very inspiring stuff.
"she remembered who she was and the game changed"

She ran for every enslaved human on this planet.

Plot twist: In 2023 men want to compete in the women category as payback.
It's the progress of degendering.
