To better estimate rates of certain benefits and risks of recreactional running, questionnaires were sent to 1250 randomly selected male and 1250 female registrants for a 10-km road race. The response rate was 55% for men and 58% for women. Telephone intervies of a randomly selected group of nonrespondents indicated that the only significant differences between respondents and nonrespondents were that respondents were older than nonrespondents, more male nonrespondents had stopped running during the year after the race, and more male nonrespondents had been hit by thrown objects. One year after the race, 89% of male and 79% of female respondents were still running regularly. After beginning recreational running, 81% of men and 75% of women who smoked cigarettes when they began running has stopped smoking. Giving up smoking was significantly more common for current runners than for retired runners. Weight loss was commonly associated with running and was greater in those persons who were overweight when they began running. More than 1/3 of respondents had a musculoskeletal injury attributed to running in the year after the race and .apprx. 1/7 of all respondents sought medical consultation for their injury. The risk of injury increased with increasing weekly mileage. Epidemiologic methods were used to quantify some of the benefits and risks of running.
