There is always a genuine cause as to why different runs and marathons are organized.
First things first; runs provide a platform for personalities of varying age-groups, either gender and clusters of life to exercise their bodies in unison over different distances deemed by the organizers in the box.
Others are set up to provide the networking role whereas majority are envisaged as quick and easy ways of soliciting funds for specific purposes.
