About

Automatically translated. Read the original French text.

A young woman discovers a passion for running and sets off in a race in time in the footsteps of Kathrine Switzer, the woman who will later become the first in history to officially run a marathon.

But for now, Kathrine is 19 years old, she studies journalism and she is the only daughter of the cross-country team of her university. Passionate about running since childhood, she tries to convince her coach Arnie to train her for the Boston Marathon. Only problem: to run a marathon in 1967, you have to be a man.

In the history of women’s rights struggles, we had to win the right to run, too.
