Want to see a new way to look at some of the Boston Marathon statistics? Bill Shander, CEO of Beehive Media in Hopkinton has created an interesting data visualization showing that the finish rate for men is only slightly higher than for women and the gap is narrowing every year. This fact, and others, are up for discussion at the April 13th program, "Celebrating 4 Decades of Women Running Boston" at the Hopkinton High School auditorium.

Come and meet the women who ran the Boston Marathon in 1972, the first year women were officially allowed to participate.
