A Pioneer in Women’s Running on the 50th Anniversary of Her First Big Race

This morning, some 15,000 runners are warming up ahead of the Manchester Road Race, a 4.75 mile circuit in New London, Connecticut. One runner is wearing the same blue tunic she wore 50 years ago, when she defied a ban on female participation in long distance running, and set a precedent that changed the face of the sport. Dr. Julia Chase Brand talks about the significance of this race, and how she first became involved in athletic equal rights.
