before radio. it's the oldest trail race in the country above community tradition, but for all its fame and recognition few know about its place in history in women's history and the fight to give women equal opportun. unity to participate in sports a hundred years ago women weren't allowed to compete in the dipsy race because it was unhealthy for their reproductive health. yes for decades women were not allowed to run in the dipsy race or any race for that matter people thought it was too dangerous and undignified. but for the dipsy there was one exception a five-year period from 1918 to 1922. it was called the dipsy hike back then it had to be called a hike because people didn't believe that women could race, but that did not stop these women. they didn't just walk this trail they ran it and some even in a lot of the women at that time were wearing high-heeled leather boots and rea w alr and dipsy racist story in

barry spitz cheryl love of studying these pioneering women, so they called it a hike but it was the bona fide race the best. time 12 minutes by mill valley native emo if you look at the dipsy results page a woman running 112 we'll finish quite well quite well to this day. speaking of today this yearay tr marks a hundred years since the last dipsy hike it ended after pushback from detractors when they finish the race and they looked like they were huffing and puffing and the detractor said women cannot do this. they are jeopardizing their health, and i was really shocked kind of taking a back corinne hunt is a junior at redwood high in marin county and a member of troop one one of the first boy scouts of america troops to include girls in by the stories he dipsy hike the hallmarked to of her eagle scout project.

she's hand making all of the bibs for a commemorative centennial hike taking place on april 30th. , which is handmade fabric w tyo bibs for all the participants and all the runners one of the most important things i really wanted to do was to share with girls of today. what pioneering young women before us did and so i thought what better match than to have pioneering young women of 2022 working on a project to celebrate the pioneering young women of 1922 the hike next month. is open to anyone who wants to pay homage to the women of 1922 participants are encouraged to wear period costumes these are photos from the first commemorative hike in 2018 among the crowd then descendants of the original dipsy hike runners. it still gives me goosebumps the

daughter of the winner in 1918 came. this is a hundred year gap and she came with a picture that no one had seen before of her mother holding the winners cup from 19. which she the mother had donated? in world war two to a scrap metal drive so that trophy wasn't there anymore, but the picture was that woman edith hickman it would be and other women were once again given the opportunity to race. the change came after an incident at the boston marathon when kathy switzer disguised in a baggy sweat suit was caught running in the race video of the race director tackling her was caught on camera and this created a big people said it's time for women to be allowed in racist.

it tried but it didn't succeed but it's undoubtedly, no less remarkable and inspiring and a reminder that much like korean who today wears a uniform that up until a few years ago was only for young men the importance of pushing and paving the way that change will come even if slowly what do you hope people take away from your project really what it means to to fight for your own rights to fight for your daughter's granddaughters future generations because everything you do leaves see, i think about the women in the original dipsy hike. looking forward to now and i and what i can feel them looking out over all this and being so proud. in mill valley liz kreutz abc 7 news extremely empowering and the east bay women firefighters hosted a camp for girls
