I do pay attention to price, and who is benefiting, when looking at races. I won't pay more than $100.00 for a half marathon and I try to make sure there are charities that are benefiting directly. I'm not a fan of the "for profit races," though I have run some.

That's a great point, Ted. And many, many races do a lot for the charities in their local area, which makes it easier to justify the cost. I wonder if there's a threshold for cost at which people who might have run your race start turning away.
Terrell, there definitely is a stop point, I guess it depends on your situation. For me that has been $90 or $100. And then to justify that much it has to be something special, i.e. the Seven Mile Bridge Run. We combine an annual vacation with a run.
