261 Fearless Club Bloomington Normal

The number 261 is Kathrine Switzer’s bib number from the 1967 Boston Marathon. She protected that bib while an angry race director attacked her in the second mile and tried to rip the numbers off her shirt. He was infuriated that a woman had entered his race, declaring that it was a men’s only event.

261® Fearless is a global community of women who have found strength, power and fearlessness from

putting one foot in front of the other. This strength has allowed each woman to overcome doubt and adversity in her life and she has the ability and desire to give support to other women who want to take on their personal challenges through running or walking. This is a safe community of support, respect, friendship and sharing of accomplishments and a place for women who want to become runners and walkers to find their fearless through connection with others.
