- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 30 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Thu, 30 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: When Mary Cain took the running world by storm, she was only in high school. At 17, Cain competed in the 2013 World Championships, becoming the youngest female athlete ever to represent the United States for track and field. The middle distance prodigy was quickly achieving running record after running record which gained the attention of Nike’s then prestigious Oregon Project and famed coach Alberto Salazar. After turning pro and joining Nike, the running phenom’s career began a precipitous decline, which Cain later revealed was the result of an abusive system at the Oregon Project under a now disgraced Salazar.

With a lawsuit settled with Nike, Cain now tells her story in a new memoir, “This Is Not About Running.” Join us for a conversation with Cain moderated by WBUR senior editor of arts & culture Dianna Bell. Copies of the book will be available to purchase from our bookstore partner Brookline Booksmith and Cain will sign following the conversation.
