If one does 10 laps, and they have 5 sponsors, $250 would be donated directly to the cause. The person would get the exercise and the center for breast cancer would get the money, a win win, in most people's books. Marathons are done the same way, just by the amount of time it takes one to complete instead. Hope that helps!<br><b>References : </b><br> As for walkathons, one is to get sponsors who would pay say $5 for each lap around the park.
