    people pay to run in the marathon. The money goes to research. also people will sponsor runners, and they will give donations to support cancer.

    It's not the actual running that helps the research. When some one runs in a marathon for for cancer, they get donations for running. That money is given to help fight cancer.

    The marathon runners have sponsors who give money for each mile completed. If one marathoner has 10 sponsors who are each sponsoring him at a rate of $10 per mile and he completes the 25-mile course, that's $2,500. So multiply that times hundreds of runners and that's a nice chunk of change for cancer research.
