Ever.
Here is an idea. Go out and run, then take a shower and go see a cheesy band. You'll save about 100 bucks! Hell, skip the shower, show up to watch the band all sweaty and stinky, and it will be just like the rocknroll marathon.

It is called a fundraiser. Each marathon they have has difference charities that benefit. Yesterday, the cause was CureMito.org. The one I
covered in October benefited various charities, including ASPCA, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, TASK and St. Jude Hospital.
They also have stages set up along the course, with different bands playing. The location I was set up at had a reggae band. They sounded good and I could see that the runners obviously enjoyed them.
It is sad that you can not see the benefit of helping people you do not know, but some day you may grow up. Doubtful, but one can hope.
