261 Fearless at the New York Marathon


At 261 Fearless we’re especially excited to announce a Panel and Book signing session on Saturday November 4 at 2pm EST. Edith Zuschmann, Kathrine Switzer, Kathryn Bertine and Christine Yu will be on the panel and that’s something we’re really looking forward to! It will be a unique opportunity to see and listen to these amazing women and to celebrate the 261 Fearless spirit!

That is why we’d like to encourage all 261 members and coaches who are in the New York area this weekend to attend if they can – go and join the fun!!
