“ I’d love to train marathon with someone as a team, but it’s actually hard to train together because of
time and location also proficiency/ experience level. I know some of marathon team which train together
but they’re very rare. “
“ Actually, I’m not that interested in team’s status but my training record. Marathon is solo sports. I need to keep tracks of my record and training, not
team’s. “
“ I might not be happy about this rule. I would feel like “dump my money”. If I donate some money, I want to
get something like feeling of contribution.”

Trust Issue
Marathoner’scommunity
“ I cannot trust this service and mechanism if I notice that this service is run by private
organization. I need to ensure that my donation money will be surely sent to the charity
organization. “
“ I attend various kinds of marathon race, but I always feel something lonely because in most cases, I
don’t know any of runners. I want to have some peers who really loves marathon
like me. We might have encountered several times already at several races, but it’s hard to know them
personally. “
