I don't see what the problem is? Lot of people in this thread strongly object to this. Are things that different in the business world? It's been noted to me by several interviewers that when interviewing professionals they kind of like to see that you're well rounded and not just some super, Type A work a holic.

I don't want to see it on your resume. Any good interviewer will ask you what you do outside of work in the actual interview to get a feel for your personality. You have a page to tell the hiring manager why you should be interviewed. Do you really want to waste a line telling them you run? I would rather list professional certs or achievements.
