2011 Panel:
|
Bill Rodgers
|
Four time New York City and Boston Marathon Champion
|
|
Dane Rauschenberg
|
An extreme athlete, speaker and author. His seminars and speeches are known as powerful, passionate, engaging and above everything, encouraging. His first book, See Dane Run, has been a surprise breakout hit for both professional runners and those outside the sport. It empowers people to set goals for themselves and use their passion and strength to reach those goals in plausible ways.

Kathrine Switzer
|
The legendary woman who changed the face of the sport when she pinned on her official bib number, confronted an attacking official, ran and thus challenged the formerly all-male rule of the Boston Marathon. Now an Emmy award winning TV commentator, author of Marathon Woman and an inaugural inductee in the National Distance Running Hall of Fame, Kathrine is a big reason there are more women runners in the USA than men!
