some people run because they want to, some because they have to. but a lot of people i know join those marathons "race for the cure" just because they want to help sick children or women with breast cancer.

When a person joins a race for a cure for HIV or Cancer or the Homeless, the money they pay to enter the race (usually $25) and the pledge money they collect from family and friends (usually a little money, like a dollar per mile) goes to the organization hosting the race (ie, susan komen foundation, NAACP, Mayo Clinic, etc.)

The point is someone talks you into it, you do it even though you don't want to, and it helps people. Just think of it as a personal conquest (I know it sucks but it does help people, if you are in shape). It sucks, but if your friend wants you to do it, just do it. I guess it helps people. It sucks at first but you look like a hero at the end of the day.

It's feel good stuff to bring attention to the cause. They get people to sponsor them to raise money and then a lot of people see the event.

if you are referring to charitable races... i don't know, really.
if you put it that way, what is the use of charitable parties? it takes a lot of money to organize such a party - money that could be used for charity. and whoever wants to be charitable can donate without going to a party, right?
apparently some people need to be convinced to be charitable. and so there are parties - races - concerts - whatever you can think of.
