The first ever women’s only marathon in Malaysia! Press conferences and festivities on April 5 & 6, race day on April 7. There is a marathon, a half and an 8K—and a special husband-wife section in the marathon so the guys are not entirely left out. I’ll be running the 8K in this fabulous–exotic– new adventure. If you come, think about a vacation there too, or in nearby Bali! Why just run when you can see amazing cultures around the world?!
I’m on my way to Kuala Lumpur for the Nestles Fitnesse Malaysia Women’s Marathon! Take a look at the big banner that they’ve created for the Switzer Mile on the course! Love it! So I’m hoping by Sunday, April 7 I can hang in on this achilles for 5 miles (8K) because for sure I want to run that section!! In any case it will all be special- Opening Ceremonies are on Friday, April 5th at 3PM at the venue, and I’ll speak briefly then, but at length on the Saturday April 6 conference, also at 3PM. We’re making history! Check it out
Kathrine Switzer has long been one of running’s most iconic figures. Not just for breaking barriers as the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon in 1967, but also for creating positive global social change. Because of her millions of women are now empowered by the simple act of running.
