Abstract: Street running is an extended social phenomenon, a form of addiction that millions of participants “feel acutely and “consume with tenacity, pleasure and immense benefits. In modern society, participation in street running sports events is a phenomenon whose importance has increased considerably, becoming more and more present in everyday life. The topicality of the theme lies in the need to improve the organization and promotion of street running events, as well as to increase the number of participants. In this context, our paper aims to analyse how street running races are organized and conducted by the Bucharest Running Club Association, in terms of the feedback received from the participants in these events. The appropriateness of the topic addressed lies in the constantly growing impact of the participation in street running sports events on both the adult population and children. The methods used are the data processing and interpretation, as well as the comparative study of the information collected since 2008, from the first edition of the Bucharest Marathon to the present day, through the feedback questionnaires applied at the end of the street running events. From the analysis undertaken, we can conclude that the way of organizing and conducting the street running events has improved a lot, and the online promotion system has led to an increase in the number of participants
