I am a writer and speaker preparing a talk on “The Gift of Running.” I am looking for information on the amount of money raised in marathons and other charity running events in the past year. The information on this page is very helpful. Do you have any further information on this subject? Eventually I hope to incorporate this information in a new edition of my book, “Beyond Running: The Road As Mentor.”
Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide.
