#5 Social benefits
Running events keep happening in countries around the world and participating in them opens up the possibility of interacting with different people in the society. Marathons, half marathons and ultra marathons are attended by people in thousands on a monthly basis and anyone who is regular at these events benefits greatly. While running a marathon, there is no differentiation on the basis of nationality, race, colour or ethnicity, something that makes it a really power phenomenon.
If a person is a regular runner, there is every possibility of developing and becoming part of a community that is based on nothing but the love of running. There are a lot of ways it also helps in improving the society and bringing in more awareness about fitness, health and confidence. Plenty of businessmen, celebrities and politicians, along with athletes, come together to run for charity causes and awareness campaigns throughout the world.
