Abstract

In this study the reasons for starting to run, starting to run marathons and the psychosocial benefits and costs derived from an involvement in running were compared for blue collar and for white collar nonelite runners. Extrinsic rewards were more important to the blue collar runners than to the white collar runners. No class differences were found for the importance of intrinsic rewards or in the benefits/costs associated with an involvement in running.
