5 Reasons why you should go for a Marathon

2. Awareness runs

Another feature in marathons is the presence of a number of NGOs running to raise awareness. A number of organizations participate in an effort to raise awareness on a number of issues like medical, social, political and cultural among others.

Their efforts help raise money for charity. If a person associates with them, even if they are not an avid runner, they can do their bit to aid their NGO as best as they can.
