Participation in the Marathon has been on the upswing ever since the official charity program started in 1989. They go hand in hand with one another.I wasn't familiar that 1) Boston had a large contingent of Charity Runners and 2) These runners race a ton of money.
This post, has informed me that there is some serious money being donated by a handful of runners annually from the Boston marathon. Very impressive indeed!

The 2018 charity runners raised $19.2 million, according to a July press release by the B.A.A. Combined with other fundraising, including the John Hancock Non-Profit Program, the 2018 Boston Marathon raised a total of $36.6 million.
All participating charities focus on health, fitness, and the local community, with causes ranging from Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital’s research initiatives to the Semper Fi Fund, which provides assistance to Armed Forces injured in combat after 9/11.
