Michiko "Miki" Suwa Gorman (August 9, 1935 – September 19, 2015)[1] was an American marathon runner of Japanese ancestry. Gorman did not begin running competitively until she was in her mid-30s, but rapidly emerged as one of the elite marathoning women of the mid-1970s.[2] She is the only woman to win both the Boston and New York City marathons twice and is the first of only two woman runners to win both marathons in the same year.[3]
