In 1967, a thirteen-year-old girl named Maureen Wilton set the
women's world marathon record, running 26.2 miles in 3:15:23.
Nicknamed "Little Mo" by her track teammates, Wilton was already a
headline-making athlete. But her accomplishment was greeted with
controversy and misogynistic accusations of cheating. Wilton
receded into the background, left the sport, and kept her
achievement secret. This is the story of what happened, and how
Maureen found her way back to the sport decades later as the mother
of a young runner herself. Introduction by Katherine Switzer, first
official female participant of the Boston Marathon in 1967.
