{{U}}Footracing is a popular activity in the United
States. It’s not only seen as a competitive sport, but also as a way to
exercise, to enioy the comraderies (同专情谊) of like - minded people, and to donate
money to a good cause. {{/U}}Though serious runners may spend months training to
compete, other runners and walkers might not train at all. Those not competing
to win might run in an effort to beat their own time, or simply to enjoy the fun
and exercise. People of all ages, from those less than one - year old (who may
be pushed in strollers) to those in their 80s, enter into this sport. The races
are held on city streets, on college campuses, through parks, and in suburban
areas, and are commonly 5 to 10 kilometers in length. The
