Running is a form of exercise that many people across the world take part in. Running is an exercise that can be done just about anywhere. It doesn’t require equipment such as weights or balls. Running just requires a person who is willing to take off on the open road, sidewalk, treadmill ect.

While running is typically done as a form of weight management or a way to improve health, running also has other uses. These alternative uses can be things such as social use. For example, many go running with friends as a way to catch on what has been going on in both of their lives. Running also serves a sport. Cross country and track teams can be found throughout the world. Running can also benefit certain charities. The way this done is through events such as 5Ks. In these events the money that is raised goes toward the specified charity.

Auburn University’s Delta Delta Delta sorority is hosting a 5k run. Proceeds from this run will go to Camp Smile a Mile. This is Delta Delta Delta’s philanthropy. The funds raised from this 5k run will help make it possible to children to go a camp at Lake Martin in Alabama.
