261 is the bib number Kathrine Switzer wore in the 1967 Boston Marathon - a marathon during which she needed to overcome her fear when the race director attacked her for being a female in a ‘mens-only’ race. Through her fearlessness she became the first woman to officially register and run this historical race. Switzer went on to revolutionize women’s running and continues as a gamechanger today.
