On this episode of Adventure Edge Radio, we feature an extraordinary woman named Kathrine Switzer, the first female to run the Boston Marathon, and Alec Wilkinson, a writer with The New Yorker. Switzer was the first woman to run the Boston Marathon with an official number. The year was 1967 and Switzer was seen by some as a threat to the all-male tradition of the Boston Marathon. The story of that historic race and what happened to Switzer as a result (a race official tried to forcibly stop her from running see photo) is the stuff of legend. We will hear it from her directly. We re also talking with Alec Wilkinson this week, a writer for The New Yorker magazine. Back in August, Wilkinson took on an assignment about the adventure sport of free diving. Free diving is where participants dive as deep as they can in the ocean while holding one single breath. We ask Wilkinson how the topic came to his attention and whether or not he aims to try it (and how long he s able to hold his breath underwater in the bathtub). Download, listen in and enjoy the latest episode of Adventure Edge Radio! Photo: Kathrine Switzer runs the Boston Marathon. As a race official (in black) tries to forcibly remove her, Switzer s boyfriend comes to her defense.

Boston s Big Day - Lions Get a New Mane - Bad Tiger. . .

On Friday, March 31st, local activist Jaime Flores and Worcester Mayor Tim Murray made two laps around Worcester Common to raise awareness for an education fundraiser. Flores will be running in the Boston Marathon for the 26th time this year and will be running to raise money for GED programs at Worcester Community Action Council (WCAC).Over the years, Flores has been frustrated by encountering people who do not pursue the GED because they do not have the $65 it costs to register for the test. The money raised will be used for test fees and preparation materials, including books and practice tests.To get involved in the fundraiser or contribute money to this worthy cause, please contact WCAC by email or by phone at (508) 754-1176. You can also mail donations or stop by the office. The address is WCAC GED Fundraiser, 484 Main Street, Second Floor, Worcester, MA 01608.Every dollar donated will help young people achieve their educational dreams. Every dollar counts.
