Marathon and Half Marathon
Description:
Your Fargo Course Tour begins and finishes at the
FargoDome! Starting just outside the front doors
of this magnificent facility, this awesome route
will bring you through the finest that our community
offers, including the historic and revitalized
downtown districts, beautiful tree-lined residential
streets which take you from turn of the 20th
Century to the 21st!
Simply put, “Fast and Flat” defines the terrain
here, but the MOST important “take home piece” for
you will be FRIENDLY! Our community proudly boasts
its friendly side as you visit our streets on your
way to your personal Finish Line!
The marathon and half marathon routes take you into
Fargo’s wonderful sister city, Moorhead, Minnesota,
which means you will traverse through two states in
one race! Everyone will stroll along and over the
mighty Red River, and full marathoners will take in
the impressive campus of Concordia College before
heading back to North Dakota.
As you make your way back into Fargo, the challenge
will be to see which street “WOWS” you the most – 8th
Street or 9th Street? You decide….but
either way; you will know the meaning of FUN after
you are done with them.
Two passes on Fargo’s infamous Broadway mean more
people, more fun and more Fargo….Fargo Theater, that
is!
Finally, your Fabulous Finish Line means the Dome
again! This time, you’ll make the grand entrance in
front of thousands as you raise your hands up high
and smile for the Jumbotron Video Monitors!
The 10K Run/Walk Course
Description:
So here’s the deal….if you are a participant in the
Fargo Marathon 10K Run/Walk, you will be making
history…..because you will be part of the Inaugural
Field of participants, and we have a terrific route
for you.
Your Start/Finish is the same as the marathon and
half marathon group….FargoDome!! And like your
colleagues in the aforementioned events, you too
will cross into Minnesota during the 10K via the 12th
Avenue Toll Bridge…..or as we have affectionately
re-named it…the Fargo Marathon Troll Bridge! Don’t
worry about paying a fee to cross the Red River
here…we’ll pick up the tab…you just keep running.
Like EVERY race in Fargo and Moorhead….Flat and Fast
are the standards!
