Join us for a moderated conversation and audience Q/A with Olympian and Boston Marathon Champion Des Linden! QA will be followed by a book signing for her memoir "Choosing to Run". 

Our guest is a two-time Olympian, with nine top-5 finishes at the World Marathon Majors. In 2018 she became the first American woman to win the Boston Marathon in the past 38 years. In April of 2021, she became the first woman in history to break the 3-hour barrier in the 50k, setting a new World Record at the distance, and just last year at the Chicago Marathon she set the US Master's Marathon Record."
