For the first time in World Major Marathon history, the top nonbinary finishers earned prize money.
“It’s heavy, and as runners, we want to feel weightless,” Fedorowski said. By building out nonbinary divisions, “folks show up to the starting line as their authentic selves and just exist in the space.”, which provides first-time marathoners from underrepresented genders with training plans and free entries to the New York City Marathon.
Kathrine Switzer, who made history in 1967 as the first woman to race the Boston Marathon, was also on the panel. “The marathon itself is one of the greatest examples of inclusivity, diversity, respect, and equality. So [the nonbinary] discussion opens the floodgates a lot more,” she said. “In the race, I don’t know the guy over here who is a different color than me, I don’t know the gender of this person over here—and I don’t care. We're sweaty and stinky together, and it doesn’t matter.
