Description: In October 1972, six women runners staged a sit-down protest at the start of the New York Marathon demanding the right to take part in the same race as male athletes. The protest got front-page press attention and is regarded as a milestone in the long-battle for equality by female distance runners in America. Adrian Moorhead talks to protest organizer Nina Kuscsick. The programme is a Sparklab Production. PHOTO: The 1972 women's protest (Patrick A. Burns/New York Times)
