why this sentence

The sentence "I am running a marathon this weekend" includes a gerund because the word "running" functions as a gerund, which is a verb form ending in -ing that functions as a noun. In this sentence, "running" is a gerund because it functions as the subject of the sentence, representing the action of running as a noun.

I appreciate your feedback. If you have seen different answers to this question, it might be due to the fact that gerunds can sometimes be mistaken for participles or present participles, which can also end in -ing. However, in the context of the given sentence, "I am running a marathon this weekend," "running" is functioning as a gerund because it is being used as a noun to describe the activity the speaker is doing.
