I've ran both the half marathon and the full. The full wasn't quite as "fun" but that's probably d/t the distance. For the half, I literally had so much fun with all of the music, crowds, and camaraderie with other runners that I looked up and happened to be 1 mile from the finish. The expo was filled with interesting... More

The Fargo Dome is a perfect location to start/end the races but there is are too many people for traffic to flow. Make sure you plan for delays and parking issues. Other than that, this is a wonderful event.

Ran the 5K for the first time. This race is organized so well. Tons of fun and the flat terrain will give you your personal best time!

I've never ran the marathon myself but my friends say it's fun. Fargo is very flat so you don't have to worry about running up hills. There are always people watching the runners the whole way and cheering them on.

20,000 runners (and walkers) can not be wrong, year after year. This is a premier marathon. Extremely well organized. If you like to rund don't miss it.

Close Gas Station with food and supplies needed sometimes when traveling. Clean store - many gas pumps for fast easy service with a credit card self pay system. Friendly staff to help you.

An extremely well run race. A Fargo phenomenon that has drawn together a great flat route with a supportive city. The vast majority of entrants do the half. A "must run".

Great marathon. This was my 15th marathon (13th state) and by far one of the best events! Arrived in Friday morning to the Fargo airport and it was nice to see a big welcome to Fargo Marathon sign in the airport lobby with a table set up and "greeters" to help us with any questions. I must say that was... More

Marathon overall is well organised. The expo was nice the races were fairly well marshalled and organised. There is plenty of parking but my advice is to go really early. There is enough parking but getting to it is very difficult. We were in a line up to get through a turn off with a 3 car light, up to... More
