Most road running events are open to the general public. Participants are of varying running ability. It is not unusual for large events to have thousands of participants. Men and women compete side by side, and professional runners run in the same events as the average runner. In more prestigious races this is less likely to happen as there will b...
Diversity
Road running is recognizable for its diverse features. Anyone is welcome to participate in road running whether it be for recreational activity or for the purpose of competition. Running is an activity that attracts people from all over the world and for any age. For example, many road racing events recognize finishers in an age group system which acts as a way to reward younger or older athletes who may not be able to compete with runners in a prime age.
Charity
Road races are often community-wide events that highlight or raise money for an issue or project. In the US, Susan G. Komen's Race for the Cure is held nationwide to raise breast cancer awareness. This race is also run in Germany, Italy and Puerto Rico. Similarly, Race for Life holds races throughout the UK to raise money for Cancer Research UK. First person "race reports" frequently appear on the Dead Runners Society electronic mailing list. Dublin, Ireland's Women's Mini-Marathon is said to...
Motivation to be active
For many, competing in a local road race can be the motivation needed for individuals to pursue physical activity. In a study done by the bureau for labor statistics, road running ranked third in the most common form of sport and exercise activity for Americans.
Impact
As with any type of running, there is a risk of natural wear and tear on the human body due to the different movements required to run.

In any given year, on average 65–80 percent of runners experience some type of injury.In order to decrease the risk of becoming injured from impact on the road, runner...
Danger
One danger in road running, as opposed to running in any other location, is that vehicles drive by regularly at high speeds. In a study[when?] by the company Road ID, it was found that on average 122,000 runners are hit by vehicles and end up in hospital each year. This figure does not include runners who are hit but do not end up in hospital.[better source needed] Runners can take precautions to decrease this risk, including: wearing reflective gear, wearing bright colors, running only durin...
Costs
At first running can seem like a very cheap activity that anyone can partake in. But there are some expenses. For one, replacing running shoes every 400–500 miles (650–800 km).[It was 300 to 400 miles earlier in the article.]Also, road race entry fees can be expensive because they have to cover the costs incurred by the race organizer. The entry fee for some big city marathons can be 150 to 300 dollars.
