She's hot
JonWallace1985
Their “manliness” couldn’t handle the thought of losing to a woman. I ran a good time, lots of women ahead of me.
calamarionastick
hopefully she stayed alive for a long time and wasn't put to death by vigilante christo fascists

One look at those legs and I'd believe it, that woman runs

I like this article about it https://8limbsus.com/gendered-experience/women-making-history-selfish-endeavor

My daughter just ran her first 5k today, so proud of her!

I rly am in awe of women that were the first to do something despite the system being against them.

To be fair, that blanket would have covered her number anyways.

Did she win?

She’s HOT and she’s RUNNING.

For anyone with young kids, there’s a great picture book biography of her story called “Girl Running”

Marathons are so rude. First dude did it, keeled over and fucking died. Now we got hundred of people dunking on him every year.
cybercry
I don't like that, that was only 12 years before I was born.
bippityboppitybuttsex
When she reached the finish line, the Governor of Massachusetts, John Volpe, was there to shake her hand
bippityboppitybuttsex
She also beat 2/3 of the runners, finishing in 3:21:40
LordHosk
If she didn't have a number... how did they know she was number 13 for this post? HMMM HMMM? didn't think to fact check that did you OP? /s
miked854
I met her at a run club in Boston once. She came back for the 50th anniversary and made a bunch of public appearances. Nice lady.
majesticmoose85
Wasn’t he in the BeeGees?

And in The Bobbi Gibb Story, she will be played by Margot Robbie. Evidently.
TheresnoDanaonlyZuul
My thoughts
DaveDreamsOfDumplings
She looks cool as shit.
TheRicM
They should get Margot Pressly to do her biopic
Mickman79
And Margot Robbie to play her.
Predicto
Nah, Jaime Robbie would do a much better job IMO

Where’s the photo of the guy running to pull her off course.
RichardHardley
Theres video somewhere. Pretty shouty.
YouLikeMemesDontYouSquidward
Can you imagine the level of stupid? "No, you can't run". Fucking idiots. Seriously.
RooGryphon
*gestures vaguely from 2016 to today._ and what about all that stupid?
YouLikeMemesDontYouSquidward
I think it's stupid, 100%, but not allowing a person to run? That's just a whole new category. It's like "No, you can't look". Dumb-ah!
Puppydonk
Why the FUCK

I had more, but that feels like a poignant philosophical statement so I'll leave it.

what is the 13 in the caption?
Scrungusamongus
Well #13 is Burger King Foot Lettuce, but that's another story.
ILikeToFindTheAnswers
Came from this list. (I was curious) https://www.boredpanda.com/history-defined-pics/
MrTiddlesAndHisMarvelousAdventures
This is probably the boredpanda site. Looks like the same font. They number most things, like “30 things…”, etc.
Shinikitty
I am guessing this was pulled from a list for top things women did that they weren't allowed to do.
madeejit
(Nods) "stealing memes"
HapilyDamaged
good guess I'm gonna go with that answer.
yaddiex3
It's the number that comes after 12 and before 14. But that's not important now.

BeneGesseritConspiracyTheorist
Everyone knows women can't run!!!
MosEisleyPhotography
Say that to all my tinder date.
NarratesTheDarkerStory
Yeah they do, they just run like girls! haha *pretends to run 'like a girl' immediately throws up from the effort* oh God, I'm dying...
TheresnoDanaonlyZuul
Good point
RichardHardley
The other runners chased her down and shoved her off the course. Classic Boston.
SimplyDifficult91
I mean my senior year a bunch of girls in my grade ran and they tried to blow them up at the finish line.
9byte
Indeed. Just to finish after that bullshit is an accomplishment.
Beardologist
Jock Semple(IIRC) he later became a vocal proponent of women in the race. There's a Dollop on him.

"Encouraged by their friendliness ... she removed her sweatshirt. To her delight and relief, the crowds cheered to see a woman running."

Her then boyfriend, the football player who running along side, took exception to the man’s efforts.

I stand corrected. I’ve been sloppy as of late on my recollections.
epithymetic
No, that was Kathrine Switzer, who ran with a number: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathrine_Switzer

Incorrect. That was Katherine Switzerland who was the first to run with a number https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathrine_Switzer

"Encouraged by their friendliness and support" It seems as though LanceCorporalBadger is right, what's your point?
superanth
Jock Semple was a complete SOB. Someone tried to stop him from chasing her, letting her run, but he screamed “Not in MY race!”
ClassicRand0
So Boston has a history of people not finishing marathons?

Bobbi Gibb ran it first. what are you trying to say ?
CaptainHedgeHog
He is correcting the comment he replied to. It was Katherine Switzerland, first to run with a number, who was shoved off.
RickyTheDragonSteamboat
Oh, it read to me like a terrible joke about the Boston Marathon bombing. But I might be reading to much into it.
LoggedInToDownvote
i won't downvote your comment, but re-read the caption, then read the wikipedia for both women and please return to clarify.
puppetute
They are saying Katherine Switzerland was the one who was shoved off course, not Bobbi Gibb. They are not denying Bobbi Gibb ran with no #.
zer0vector
Y'all are arguing about different things, you're both right
