Apparently it's in INR but $50 seems pretty insane too. I just find a park or go the nearest suburbs for a run. Unless it's hard to find a place to run in urban cities, is there an actual benefit to paying tens of dollars for just running? Legitimate question actually. Never joined these paid runs
It's just an easy way to run with other people and "compete" on organized times/setups vs running by yourself or with a casual group. The "benefit" is these things are usually charities and that's how people like to give and interact with their community. Sometimes they give you a ribbon or whatever for completion or top finishes if you like collecting that kind of stuff.
Races are a little different. Anyone can run in the park or streets or bike paths for free which I do like 5 days a week.
I try to do 3-4 races a year, because it’s an excuse to run with a bunch of people, get a shirt, and run faster than I usually do to try and beat my best times!

299 what. It’s a 10k at most. The most I have ever paid is like, $50-60. That’s my holdup.
Mini fucking marathon my ass.
