Marking a trend of continued growth, road runners and walkers raised $575 million for charity in 2004, USA Track & Field (USATF) announced on Saturday 16 April. The figure marks a 2 percent increase over 2003 ($563 million) and a 10 percent increase over the inaugural study results for 2002 ($520 million).

The Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in San Diego, Calif., has been named the 2004 USATF Charitable Race of the Year, while the American Heart Association Heart Walk was honored as 2004 Charitable Organization of the Year. The awards are an outgrowth of USATF's ongoing study into charitable running in the United States, begun in 2002.
