Today the Canadian Running community lost a formidable member. Silvia Ruegger, who was the first woman to represent Canada in the marathon at the Olympics and held the national record in that distance for 28 years, died today at the age of 58 after a long battle with cancer.  Silvia was a pioneer for women’s running. In many ways she can be credited with the unprecedented success that Canadian female distance runners have enjoyed over the last several years. Today we’re rebroadcasting an episode from 2017, featuring an interview between former Shakeout host Joan Chung and the late, great Silvia Ruegger.

Remembering Canadian Running Icon Silvia Ruegger

On September 11, 1976, 15-year-old Silvia Ruegger sat in her bedroom writing a note. It read: I will represent Canada at the Olympic Games. She then took the note and tucked it underneath the floorboards where no one else could see it. Eight years later at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, Ruegger became one of fifty women to race at the very first women’s marathon of the Olympic Games and a pioneer of women’s running. On this week’s episode of The Shakeout, we look at how one of the greatest moments in Canadian running history started with a handwritten note hidden underneath the floor of an old farmhouse.
