charity runner
Cause-supporting racer
A charity runner is someone who participates in a race—typically a marathon or similar endurance event—while raising money for a charitable cause.
Runners often solicit donations from friends and family, with funds going to the sponsoring organization: She's training for the London Marathon as a charity runner for cancer research.
Many major races reserve spots specifically for charity runners.
