In 1967 a runner, Kathrine Switzer entered the all-male Boston Marathon under the name "K.V. Switzer" making her the first registered woman to run the race. Switzer was attacked during the race by a marathon official.
Despite the harassment, Switzer finished the race and five years later women were allowed to run the Boston Marathon.
