Marathons these days are quite popular in most metropolitan cities of the world. These can be full or half city marathons, and are usually promoted very well, much in advance, so that more and more people can register and participate. Here are some of the reasons for you to participate in a marathon.
1. To support a cause
Most marathons support a good and noble cause, or receive participation from NGOs and other such organizations, which support various causes. To run in a marathon is your way of showing support for a cause, and doing some good to the society. Your registration fee is used for charity, and is channelized towards good changes in the society.
