Why do runners drink a lot of water the night before an event?

My sister used to run cross-country and she would just tank up on water the night before. Wouldn't you just pee it all out by the time the next day came? How would that benefit you?

It's to get hydrated. No, you wouldn't just pee it all out. Some of the water gets stored in your body tissues and skin.

because at the event they have to loose a lot of water it will be good for them and by it they could avoid cramps

It benefits you because it completely hydrates you.
