Editorial: Shed light on charity races - Times Union

According to an article in Runner's World, runners raised $1.2 billion for nonprofits in 2012, more than twice the amount from a decade ago.

But where does the money go? That it is not easy to discern how much an individual run organizer gives to charity is testament that government and nonprofits haven't kept up with the niche industry's growth."
